In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 4 equally sized oval patties and place them on a microwave-safe plate. Use a plate with slight edges to catch any juices while cooking.
Cover the plate with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, then carefully flip the patties. Re-cover and microwave for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the gravy. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the beef broth, cornstarch, and water, whisking until smooth.
Microwave the gravy mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the gravy thickens (about 2 minutes total).
When the patties are done, let them rest for 2 minutes. Pour the thickened gravy over the Salisbury steaks and serve immediately. For a complete meal, pair with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
