Ingredients

• 1½ lbs ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix gently and shape into 4–6 oval patties.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4–5 minutes per side, until browned. Remove and set aside.

6. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Add Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.
7. Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10–15 minutes, until cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
