Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

For the Salisbury Steak Patties

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs plain
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

For the Mushroom Gravy

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties, about 0.75 inches thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
  • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Brown the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions and stir well to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
  • Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Salisbury steak patties hot, topped with the mushroom gravy.

Notes

This Salisbury steak recipe is delicious served over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. A side of green beans or a simple salad makes it a complete meal.
