- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Hamburger Steak Patties
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 6–8 oval patties.
Step 2: Brown the Patties
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown each patty on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Don’t cook them through—just get that rich sear.
Step 3: Make the Gravy Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, onion soup mix, and cream of mushroom soup. If you like your gravy thicker, mix cornstarch with cold water and stir into the gravy.
Step 4: Assemble the Bake
Place browned patties in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour gravy mixture over the top, covering all patties.
Step 5: Bake Until Bubbling
Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes to thicken and brown slightly.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or fluffy rice. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color.
