- Form into oval patties (about 1 inch thick).
- Brown the Steaks
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side (they don’t need to cook through yet).
- Remove and set aside.

- In the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms.
- Cook until mushrooms soften and brown, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add garlic; cook 30 seconds.
- Make the Gravy
- Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir for 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth.
- Add Worcestershire and thyme.
- Simmer until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
- Finish Cooking
- Return patties to skillet, spoon gravy over them.
- Cover and simmer 10–15 minutes, until patties are cooked through and tender.
- Serve
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips for Extra Flavor
