🥩 Salisbury Steak
🧾 Ingredients (4 servings)
For the Patties:
- 500 g (1 lb) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Patties
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently until combined.
- Shape into 4 oval patties.
2️⃣ Brown the Patties
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil.
- Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).
- Remove patties and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter or heat oil.
- Sauté onions and mushrooms until soft and golden.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper.
4️⃣ Finish Cooking
- Return patties to the skillet, spooning gravy over them.
- Simmer 10 minutes on low until patties are cooked through (internal temp 160 °F / 71 °C).
5️⃣ Serve
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Spoon extra gravy on top.
⭐ Tips
- Don’t overmix the meat to keep patties tender.
- Mushrooms and onions add extra flavor, but you can omit mushrooms if you like.
- Leftovers reheat well and taste even better the next day.
If you want, I can also give a quick skillet version that cooks in under 30 minutes or a baked oven version for less hands-on time.
Do you want me to do that?
