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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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