1️⃣ Prepare the Hamburger Steaks
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4–6 equal portions and shape them into thick oval patties.
2️⃣ Sear the Steaks
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Add a little butter or oil, then sear the patties for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. (They don’t need to be fully cooked; they’ll finish in the oven!)
- Remove the patties and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Gravy Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour, cooking for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add cream (or milk), Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
4️⃣ Bake Everything Together
- Return the seared hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
- Cover the skillet with foil or transfer everything to a baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the steaks are fully cooked and tender.
5️⃣ Serve & Garnish
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. ๐ฟ
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or homemade Amish bread! ๐๐ฅ
