Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, divided
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Mushroom Gravy

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a bowl, combine ground beef, half of the finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to avoid overmixing. Shape the mixture into evenly sized oval patties to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Cook the patties until browned on both sides but not fully cooked through. This partial cooking helps finish them properly in the gravy later.
  3. Make the Mushroom Gravy: In the same skillet, add butter and sauté the remaining chopped onion and fresh mushrooms until tender. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir continuously to form a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth to create a smooth, thick gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the patties to cook through.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the gravy has thickened and is bubbling, plate the Salisbury Steak and spoon extra gravy over the top for maximum comfort and flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the beef mixture to keep patties tender and juicy.
  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor in the gravy.
  • Ensure patties are browned thoroughly to lock in flavor before simmering.
  • Simmer on low heat to maintain moist patties while thickening the gravy perfectly.
  • Adjust gravy consistency by adding more beef broth or a flour slurry as needed.
