Preparation
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, salt and pepper, thyme, and egg. Shape into 4 nice-size patties, about 3/4 of an inch thick.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef patties, turning when necessary, until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the fat. Add the onion and mushrooms to the skillet and saute till nicely browned. Add the broth to the skillet, heat to boiling, and reduce the heat. Add the patties back to the skillet, cover; simmering till patties are thoroughly cooked, about 10 minutes.
Now remove the patties again and keep warm. In a small bowl, mix together the cold water and cornstarch till smooth ( no lumps allowed). Whisk into the skillet and turn up the heat, whisking as you go. The sauce will thicken, serve it over the patties.
