    • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 1 egg
    • 1/4 cup chopped onion
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced  
    • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • For the Mushroom Gravy:
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour  
    • 1 cup beef broth
    • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
    • 1/4 cup chopped onion
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced  
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salisbury Steaks:
    • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Mix well until just combined.
    • Shape the mixture into 4-6 patties.
  2. Cook the Steaks:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
    • Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Mushroom Gravy:
    • Melt the butter in the same skillet.
    • Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    • Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
    • Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the gravy.
    • Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve:
    • Return the cooked Salisbury Steaks to the skillet with the gravy.
    • Simmer for a few minutes to allow the steaks to reheat and absorb some of the gravy.
    • Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.

Tips & Variations:

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried rosemary or sage to the meat mixture.
  • If you don’t have beef broth, you can use vegetable broth or chicken broth.
  • To make the gravy richer, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or sour cream before serving.
  • Add chopped spinach or kale to the gravy for an extra boost of nutrients.
  • Serve with a dollop of Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce for a tangy kick.

Enjoy!
