Here’s a classic Salisbury Steak recipe 🥩🍽️—juicy beef patties with a rich, savory onion gravy.
Salisbury Steak
Ingredients (4 servings)
Steak Patties
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Gravy
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp ketchup or tomato paste
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry for thickening)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make patties
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
- Shape into 4 oval patties.
- Cook patties
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side (they don’t need to cook through yet). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Make gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter or add oil.
- Sauté sliced onions until soft and golden (5–6 minutes).
- Add beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
- Combine and simmer
- Return patties to skillet.
- Cover and simmer 15–20 minutes, until patties are cooked through.
- Stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken gravy. Simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy.
- Serve
- Spoon gravy and onions over patties.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
Tips
- Extra flavor: Add 1 tsp Dijon mustard or a splash of soy sauce to the gravy.
- Cheesy variation: Top patties with a slice of cheddar or Swiss before serving.
- Make-ahead: Patties can be formed ahead of time; store covered in the fridge.
- Low-carb option: Skip breadcrumbs or use almond flour.
If you want, I can also give a crockpot Salisbury Steak version that’s perfect for a hands-off dinner.
