- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the hamburger steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are tender and translucent.

- Check for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the smothered hamburger steaks topped with the onion gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
