🍽️ Salisbury Steak with Brown Gravy
⏱️ Time
- Prep: 15 minutes
- Cook: 25–30 minutes
🛒 Ingredients
Steaks
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce
Gravy
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth

🔥 Instructions
- Mix the steak ingredients: In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Shape into 4 oval patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil or butter. Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, make the gravy:
- Melt butter and whisk in flour; cook 1–2 minutes until lightly browned.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce; simmer until thickened.
- Return patties to the skillet, cover, and simmer 10–15 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve hot with gravy spooned over the top.
🌟 Tips & Variations
- Mushroom gravy: Sauté ½ cup sliced mushrooms with onions before adding flour.
- Make ahead: Patties can be browned ahead and stored in fridge; finish in gravy later.
- Sides: Classic with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
- Extra flavor: Add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire to the gravy.
This dish is cozy, rich, and perfect for a weeknight dinner 😋
I can also give a slow cooker version that keeps the steaks super tender if you want.
