Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your equipment—a large mixing bowl and an 8"x4" loaf pan.
  2. In your large mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, black pepper, onion flakes, and Montreal steak seasoning. Mix gently until just blended.
  3. Transfer the mixture to your loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf that fits snugly within the pan, smoothing the top.
  4. Place the loaf pan in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  5. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  6. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and stir in flour to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Cook until the gravy thickens.
  7. Slice your resting meatloaf with a sharp knife, revealing its moist interior and drizzle warm brown gravy over the slices before serving.
