Ingredients
Scale
For the Steaks:
1 lb (450 g) ground beef (85% lean)
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Gravy:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium onion (sliced thinly)
8 oz (225 g) mushrooms (sliced)
2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Make the Salisbury Steaks:
Combine Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Shape Patties:
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Cook the Steaks:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring no lumps remain.
Simmer the Gravy:
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine and Finish:
Return Steaks to the Skillet:
Place the cooked patties back into the skillet, spooning gravy over the top. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.
Serve:
Serve the Salisbury steaks hot with the gravy spooned over them. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and a side of vegetables.
Notes
For a richer gravy, replace 1/2 cup of beef broth with cream or milk.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
Add fresh parsley or thyme for garnish if desired.
