by

A classic comfort food dish featuring seasoned ground beef patties simmered in a rich, savory mushroom gravy.

Ingredients:

  • For the Salisbury Steaks:
    • 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
    • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain)
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • For the Mushroom Gravy:
    • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 medium onion, sliced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 2 cups beef broth
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for richness)
    • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salisbury Steaks:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
    • Mix gently with your hands until well combined.
    • Form the mixture into 6-8 oval-shaped patties.
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. They don’t need to be cooked through at this stage.
    • Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Make the Mushroom Gravy:
    • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, and cook until the mushrooms are browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    • Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
    • Add the soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
    • Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened.
    • If you would like a creamier gravy, stir in the heavy cream now.
  3. Combine and Simmer:
    • Return the Salisbury steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
    • Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through and the gravy has thickened further.
  4. Serve:
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
    • Serve the Salisbury steaks and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
