– 1 pound ground beef

Creating Salisbury Steak and Gravy can be a delightful experience if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, beaten egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into oval patties. Ensure they are not too thick for even cooking.
3. Cook the Patties: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add flour. Stir for 1–2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the gravy thickens.
5. Combine Patties and Gravy: Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the top. Allow them to simmer for an additional 5–7 minutes for the flavors to meld.
6. Final Touch: Adjust the seasoning of the gravy if necessary, tasting and adding salt or pepper as preferred.
7. Serve Warm: Once done, turn off the heat and get ready to serve!
