Ingredients

For the Salisbury Steaks:

1 lb (450g) ground beef
¼ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Mushroom Gravy:

2 cups beef broth
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for depth of flavor)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Serving:

Creamy mashed potatoes or cooked white rice
Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Salisbury Steak Patties

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and egg.
  • Season with salt and black pepper, then mix until just combined (avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender).
  • Shape the mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties, about ¾-inch thick.

2️⃣ Cook the Patties

  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the beef patties and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
  • Transfer the patties to a plate and set aside (they will finish cooking in the gravy).

3️⃣ Make the Mushroom Gravy

  • In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the mushrooms, stirring well to coat.
  • Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Slowly pour in 2 cups beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Stir in 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (if using).
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let simmer until thickened.

4️⃣ Simmer the Patties in the Gravy

  • Return the seared Salisbury steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the patties to cook through.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

  • Plate the Salisbury steaks over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice.
  • Spoon the rich mushroom gravy generously over the top.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Tips & Variations

Enhance the Flavor: Add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the gravy for deeper taste.
Thicker Gravy: Let it simmer longer, or add 1 more tablespoon of flour for extra thickness.
Make it Lighter: Swap ground turkey for beef and use low-sodium broth for a healthier option.
Storage & Meal Prep: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
