Steps

  1. 1

    In a bowl, gently mix ground beef with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and garlic powder. Form into 4-6 oval patties, about 1/2-inch thick.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties for 4-5 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove patties and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir, cooking for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until gravy thickens.

  5. 5

    Stir in dried thyme and season gravy with remaining salt and pepper to taste. Return hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning gravy over them.

  6. 6

    Simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and heat the steaks through. Serve hot, traditionally with mashed potatoes or rice.
