Steaks:

Heat some olive oil in a skillet, over medium-high heat and cook the patties until they turn golden brown on each side (approximately 4- 5 minutes per side). Once done remove them from the skillet. Set them aside.

Mushroom Gravy:

Using the skillet add oil if necessary and sauté the onions until they become translucent.
