- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder

Steaks
In a medium/large bowl mix together spices and ground beef. Mix until just combined, a potato masher works great or your hands!
Form your patties using either a kitchen scale or eyeballing it. You should have 8 quarter pound patties. Place them on a plate or baking sheet while you finish prepping the patties.
Warm up 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Place 2-3 steaks in the heated pan and cook them for 3-5 minutes each side. Cooking may take longer depending on thickness.
Once patties are cooked, set them aside on a clean plate and continue cooking the rest. Keep your grease!
Gravy
Reserve half a cup of pan drippings and discard leftovers. If you don't have enough, add some butter. Add half a cup of flour and whisk until combined. Let roux cook for about 3-5 minutes.
Slowly add about 7 cups of beef broth, add about one cup at a time. This will make it easier to whisk together. Once all broth is added, bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, add all the steaks back to the pan and reduce to medium/low heat. Leave the pan uncovered and cook for 15-20 minutes.
