🥩 Salisbury Steak
Salisbury steak is a classic American comfort dish: seasoned ground beef patties smothered in rich, savory brown gravy. Traditionally served with mashed potatoes and vegetables, it’s hearty, filling, and perfect for weeknight dinners.
🥄 Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the Gravy
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make Patties
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Form into 4 evenly sized oval patties.
2️⃣ Brown Patties
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil or butter.
- Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side (they do not need to be fully cooked). Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Make Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter.
- Whisk in flour and cook 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder.
- Simmer 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
4️⃣ Combine
- Return patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over the top.
- Cover and simmer 10–15 minutes until patties are cooked through (internal temp 160°F / 71°C).
5️⃣ Serve
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles with extra gravy on top.
🌟 Tips for Perfect Salisbury Steak
- Tender patties: Don’t overmix meat; handle gently.
- Flavor boost: Sauté onions and mushrooms in gravy for extra depth.
- Make ahead: Patties can be formed ahead and refrigerated.
- Gravy variations: Add a splash of red wine or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for richer flavor.
