In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, unsalted breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, until they become tender and slightly browned.
Pour in the unsalted beef broth, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the mushroom mixture, stirring continuously, until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the fresh thyme leaves to the gravy and stir well.
Return the burger patties to the skillet, spooning the mushroom gravy over them. Allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.
Serve the burger steak with mushroom gravy hot, garnishing with additional thyme if desired.
