  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

   • Form the mixture into 4-6 oval patties.
2. Cook the Steaks:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until nicely browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks and set aside.
3. Prepare the Gravy:

   • Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing to a simmer.
   • Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook until the gravy thickens about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Finish Cooking:
   • Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, or until the beef is thoroughly cooked and tender.
