Amish Hamburger Steak Bake: A Hearty, Comforting Classic 🍖🥔

1️⃣ Prepare the Hamburger Steaks

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into 4–6 equal portions and shape them into thick oval patties.

2️⃣ Sear the Steaks

1. Heat a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
2. 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!)
3. Remove the patties and set aside.

3️⃣ Make the Gravy Sauce

1. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
2. Whisk in the flour, cooking for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
3. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
4. Add cream (or milk), Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

4️⃣ Bake Everything Together

1. Return the seared hamburger steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
2. Cover the skillet with foil or transfer everything to a baking dish.
3. 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. 🌿
• Serve hot with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or homemade Amish bread! 🍞🥔
