How to Make Beef Patties With Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef to the bowl and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Form the mixture into 8 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Lightly coat the patties in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
  6. Place the patties on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
  8. Flip the patties and bake for another 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  9. While the patties bake, prepare the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  10. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
  11. Slowly whisk in 1 cup beef broth and 1/2 cup milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  12. Reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  13. Serve the delicious beef patties topped generously with the creamy thyme sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
