In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix by hand until just combined—don't overwork the meat.
Overmixing leads to tough steaks; keep it light!
Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 oval patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each to prevent bulging during cooking.
In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove from the pan and set aside (they don't need to be fully cooked yet).
That brown crust is where the flavor lives!
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté until softened and caramelized, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in the beef broth and extra Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer until thickened.
Slide the beef patties back into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the beef is cooked through and the gravy is glossy. Serve over mashed potatoes.
