Servings: 4-5
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
Shape into 4 or 5 oval patties.
Heat vegetable oil over medium-high in a large skillet and sear the patties for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they develop a rich brown crust.
Transfer them to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes while whisking constantly to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in beef broth until smooth, then add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens.
Pour the warm gravy over the hamburger steaks in the baking dish.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and serve hot with gravy, over mashed potatoes or noodles.
