Here’s a classic, hearty recipe for Salisbury Steak, in true comfort-food style:
Ingredients
For the steaks:
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor
Instructions
- Make the steaks:
In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into oval patties (about 4–6). - Brown the patties:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet). Remove and set aside. - Make the gravy:
In the same skillet, melt butter. Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1–2 minutes to make a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer until thickened. - Combine and simmer:
Return patties to the skillet. Cover and simmer 15–20 minutes until patties are cooked through and the gravy is flavorful. - Serve:
Spoon gravy over patties. Classic sides include mashed potatoes, green beans, or buttered noodles.
💡 Tips:
- For extra richness, add a splash of cream or milk to the gravy.
- Mushrooms can be sautéed in the pan before making the gravy for a deeper flavor.
- Leftovers taste amazing in a sandwich!
If you want, I can also give a baked Salisbury steak casserole version, which is perfect if you want it all in one dish. Do you want me to do that?
