Instructions
TO MAKE THE HAMBURGER STEAKS:
Combine all of the ingredients for the hamburger steaks using a fork to keep them light. Using your hands, form into burgers. Add oil to a skillet over medium high heat and brown the burgers, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel. They will not be fully cooked at this point, but will finish in the sauce later.
TO MAKE THE MUSHROOMS:
Using the same pan and any remaining oil or juices, cook the sliced mushrooms with thyme until golden and tender. They should have absorbed all of the liquids. Remove to a plate.
TO MAKE THE ONIONS:
In the same pan, add two tablespoons of butter and the sliced onions. Cook over medium heat until they are tender, slightly golden and caramelized.
TO FINISH THE SAUCE:
Add the flour to the onions and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the hot beef broth and worcestershire sauce. Also add your chopped parsley at this time. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes or so.
Add the mushrooms back to the pan and nestle the burgers in the sauce, spooning some over top. Add a lid and continue to cook until a thermometer reads 165 degrees.
TO SERVE:
Serve one steak with gravy per person along with mashed potatoes, green beans and a side of bread. I like to give the steaks a final sprinkling of salt to really bring out the flavors.
Garnish with a bit more parsley and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe serves two, but you can easily double the recipe to serve four.
