Ingredients:

For the Salisbury Steak:

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

For the Mushroom Gravy:

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for sautéing)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salisbury Steaks:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
    • Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Cook the Patties:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. Make the Mushroom Gravy:
    • In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until they are softened and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
    • Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Combine and Serve:
    • Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spooning the mushroom gravy over them. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
    • Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, drizzled with the rich mushroom gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or your favorite side dish.
