Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker gravy)
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, to mix with cornstarch)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, finely chopped onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat mixture.
Form the beef mixture into four equal-sized oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter, along with the sliced mushrooms and sliced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and the onions are softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom and onion mixture, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to create a smooth base for the gravy. Stir in ketchup and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken slightly.
Return the browned Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked and the gravy is rich and flavorful.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the gravy and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, smothered in the mushroom gravy, with sides like mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles. Enjoy!
