Ingredients
For the Salisbury Steaks:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
For the Mushroom Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Salisbury Steaks:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into an oval patty.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Mushroom Gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked Salisbury steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over the top.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the patties are heated through and the gravy has thickened.
- Serve the Salisbury steaks with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes or rice, and enjoy!
