Beat 2 eggs in a bowl.

In a large bowl, combine 2 pounds of ground beef, 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, beaten eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 1/2 tablespoons of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.

Mix the ingredients with clean hands until well combined.

Shape the mixture into patties, yielding about 9 patties.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Brown the patties in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, cooking them in batches if necessary.

Once browned, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside, keeping the drippings in the skillet.

Add 1 sliced white onion to the skillet and sauté in the drippings for about 5 minutes, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, mixing it with the onions and butter until incorporated.

Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of dried thyme to the mixture.

Pour in 3-4 cups of beef broth, stirring to combine, and season with black pepper and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, to allow the flour to thicken the gravy.

Once boiling, return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, ensuring they are covered by the gravy, and simmer until fully heated through.
