Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of ground beef, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 1 chopped onion, 2 cups of sliced mushrooms, 2 cups of beef broth, 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp of cooking oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, half of the chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Form the mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties, about 1 inch thick. Set aside on a plate.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
- Once the onions and mushrooms are cooked, sprinkle a little salt and pepper over them. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover the skillet and let the patties simmer in the gravy for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- After simmering, check the seasoning of the gravy and adjust with additional salt and pepper if needed. If the gravy is too thin, you can thicken it by mixing 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water and adding it to the skillet, stirring until the gravy thickens.
- Once the gravy has reached your desired consistency, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, generously topped with the beef and mushroom gravy.
- Enjoy your homemade Salisbury Steak with Beef and Mushroom Gravy alongside mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish!
Tips
- Don’t Overmix the Meat: When combining the ingredients for the patties, mix just until combined to ensure your Salisbury steaks remain tender and juicy.
- Perfectly Browned Patties: Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the patties. This will help create a nice sear and lock in the flavors.
- Sauté for Flavor: Take your time when sautéing the onions and mushrooms. A good caramelization will add depth to your gravy.
- Adjust the Gravy Consistency: If you prefer a thicker gravy, remember to mix cornstarch with water before adding it to the skillet to avoid lumps.
- Serve with Sides: This dish pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or even buttered noodles to soak up that delicious gravy.
- Leftover Magic: If you have any leftovers, they make for a fantastic sandwich filling the next day. Just reheat the patties and gravy and serve on a bun for a tasty twist!
