Instructions:

1. Make the hamburger steaks:
   • In a bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Form into 3-4 oval patties.
2. Cook the steaks:
   • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Sear the patties for 4–5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside (they’ll finish cooking in the gravy).
3. Make the onion gravy:
   • In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Cook until soft and caramelized, about 8–10 minutes.
   • Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
   • Slowly whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened.
4. Bring it together:
   • Return hamburger steaks to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and cover.
   • Simmer on low for 10–15 minutes until steaks are cooked through and gravy is thick.
