Classic Salisbury Steak
Ingredients (serves 4)
For the steaks:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix Patties:
In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form 4 oval patties. - Cook Patties:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brown patties on both sides (~3–4 minutes per side). Remove patties and set aside. - Make Gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Sauté mushrooms until tender.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Simmer until thickened.
- Combine:
Return patties to the skillet. Simmer in the gravy 10–15 minutes, until cooked through and flavors meld. - Serve:
Spoon gravy over patties. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, sauté onions until caramelized before mixing into the patties.
- Don’t overmix the beef—keep patties tender.
- You can make ahead by forming patties and refrigerating; cook when ready.
