Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (use halal version or soy sauce alternative)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire (or soy sauce), egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix gently until combined. Shape into 6 oval patties.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sear patties in olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sprinkle flour and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually add beef broth and milk, stirring until smooth and thickened. Add thyme and adjust seasoning.
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the potato slices, followed by hamburger steaks, mushrooms (if using), and remaining potatoes.
- Pour the gravy evenly over the top, cover with foil, and bake for 50–55 minutes.
- Uncover, sprinkle with cheese, and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Tip: Use halal Worcestershire or soy sauce to keep the dish halal.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs and gluten-free thickening flour, adjusting as needed.
- Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking for even easier weeknight meals.
- Cheese choices: mozzarella or provolone work well; other cheeses like cheddar can also be used.
- Allow the dish to rest a few minutes before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.
