Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl add the ground beef, beef broth, seasoned salt, black pepper, parsley and mix well using your hands. Shape the meat into 4 equal size patties, about ¾-inch thick.
Arrange 3 shallow plates, one with flour, one with beaten eggs and another with the breadcrumbs.
Dredge the beef patties first in the flour on both sides, then into the egg and finally into the breadcrumbs.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the hot skillet and brown on both sides, for about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the browed patties to a shallow baking dish.
Top each patty with a slice of mozzarella cheese, then pour about ¼ cup of marinara over each patty and finally sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve with spaghetti or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Use your hands. You really need to combine the meat well with the seasoned salt for the best flavor and your hands will do the best job over any other kitchen tool.
Dredge well to bread. Completely dredge the patties in the flour on both sides and well with the egg before dipping them into the breadcrumbs. The flour and egg together are what really create the barrier for the breadcrumbs to form a crust.
Don’t burn the cheese. If your cheese is starting to brown too much but your hamburger steaks are still not cooked to your desired temperature, just cover the baking dish with foil to keep the cheese from burning.
