Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef I prefer 90% lean for these
1 1/4 teaspoons onion powder divided
1 teaspoon ground mustard
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder divided
Salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the beef, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix to combine, being careful not to over-mix.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger steaks and cook for 4 minutes per side, until nicely browned on both sides. Transfer the hamburger steaks to a plate (they will finish cooking in the gravy).
Drain all but 1 tablespoon of grease from the pan and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the onions to the pan and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until soft and deeply browned. Add the flour and stir to coat.
Add the beef broth, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
Return the hamburger steaks to the pan and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the meat is cooked to your liking. If you want the meat cooked all the way through, cook until 155 to 160 degrees F.
