Ingredients
-
For the Salisbury Steaks:
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
-
For the Gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (to thicken the gravy)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Make the Salisbury Steaks:
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined, but avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form each portion into a patty. -
Cook the Steaks:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. -
Make the Gravy:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for about 4 minutes, until softened and caramelized. Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer. -
Thicken the Gravy:
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the simmering gravy and stir constantly until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. -
Combine and Serve:
Return the cooked Salisbury steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the top. Let the steaks simmer in the gravy for another 5 minutes to absorb the flavors. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- If you prefer a richer gravy, you can add a splash of heavy cream.
- For a healthier version, lean ground turkey can be used instead of beef.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
