In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg whites, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until everything is evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into oval patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the beef broth, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Cook the gravy for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the browned patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy over them, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to cook the patties through and meld the flavors.
Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, topped with the rich brown gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
