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.
Make the Gravy:
- Sauté Onions and Mushrooms:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
- Create the Gravy Base:
- 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.
