Ingredients
Scale
For the Steaks:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Gravy:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined to avoid tough patties. Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease or add a splash of oil. Cook the patties for about 4–5 minutes on each side until they are browned on the outside and nearly cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onion and mushrooms (if using) and sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and mushrooms and stir for 1 minute to coat. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth, then add Worcestershire sauce and ketchup. Stir and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
- Combine Patties and Gravy: Return the patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over each one, cover, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. This final cooking ensures the patties are fully cooked and the flavors meld.
- Serve: Serve the Salisbury steaks hot with gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- Leftovers store well and taste even better the next day as flavors deepen.
- If you prefer, mushrooms can be omitted for a simpler gravy.
