  7. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat evenly.
  8. Slowly whisk in beef broth until smooth and lump-free.
  9. Add onion powder and fresh thyme, then simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the gravy thickens.
  10. Return the patties to the skillet and spoon gravy over them.
  11. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the steaks are fully cooked.
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for the best balance of flavor and texture without excess grease.
  • Allow the gravy to simmer gently so it thickens into a rich and silky sauce.
  • Fresh thyme adds classic savory flavor, but dried thyme can be substituted if needed.
