Old Fashioned Salisbury Steak recipe

INGREDIENTS

For the Steaks:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon oil or butter (for frying)

For the Gravy:

• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt & pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the Steaks:
   • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Mix until just combined. Shape into 4 oval patties.
2. Brown the Patties:
   • Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Cook the patties for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Onion Gravy:
   • In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Sauté until soft and golden brown (about 5–7 minutes).
   • Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
   • Gradually whisk in beef broth, then add ketchup and Worcestershire sauce.
   • Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened (about 3–4 minutes).
4. Combine and Simmer:
   • Return the browned patties to the skillet.
   • Spoon some gravy over the top and cover.
   • Simmer on low for 15–20 minutes, or until patties are cooked through.
5. Serve:
   • Serve hot with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or over rice—don’t forget to drizzle plenty of that rich gravy on top!
