Ingredienser
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become tender. Let them cool slightly.
  • Set up an electric smoker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and preheat it to 250°F. Use a drip pan if your smoker requires one.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Swiss cheese, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, and cooled mushrooms. Mix gently just until combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf and place it on a sheet of heavy-duty foil or in a small smoker-safe pan. Leave room around the loaf for smoke to circulate.
  • Smoke the meatloaf until the center reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, checking the temperature in the thickest part. Transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest while you make the gravy.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the beef broth until smooth, then simmer until the gravy thickens.
  • Stir the parsley, rosemary, and fresh thyme into the gravy. Slice the rested meatloaf and serve with the warm herb gravy.

merknader

Cook the mushrooms until their moisture has evaporated so the meatloaf holds together and does not turn soggy. For a smoother gravy, add the beef broth gradually while whisking, and keep the heat gentle once the fresh herbs go in.
