Ingredients
For the Salisbury Steak Patties:
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 recommended)
½ cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil, for searing
For the Onion Gravy:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra depth)
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously. The gravy will begin to thicken as it heats.
Combine and Simmer: Once the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency (it should be rich and pourable, not too thin or too thick), carefully return the seared Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Ensure the patties are mostly submerged.
