For the Salisbury Steaks
500 g ground beef
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Onion Gravy

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Salisbury Steaks
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently using your hands or a spoon until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into 4–5 oval-shaped patties, shaping them evenly so they cook at the same rate.
2. Brown the Patties
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside. Don’t worry if they aren’t fully cooked yet—they’ll finish cooking later in the gravy.
3. Cook the Onions
