Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons A1 steak sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon homemade steak seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Gravy
- 1 tablespoon butter (for patties)
- 3 tablespoons butter (for gravy)
- 1 medium onion (sliced thin)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups beef broth (or stock)
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper (to taste)
- 8 oz sliced baby Bella mushrooms
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, egg, panko breadcrumbs, A1 steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly using your hands or gloves until evenly combined. Form the mixture into 4 round patties about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
- Cook the Patties: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the patties and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover loosely with foil or a lid to keep warm.
- Prepare the Pan for Gravy: Discard any excess grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat along with the pan drippings; do not clean the skillet to preserve flavor for the gravy.
- Sauté Onions: Add 3 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Using a spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent and soft.
- Make the Roux: Stir in the flour with the butter and onions. Continue to cook for approximately 2 minutes until the flour develops a light golden brown color, indicating it has cooked through.
- Add Broth and Thicken: Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to fully incorporate the flour without lumps. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy thickens to a smooth consistency. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
- Simmer Patties and Mushrooms: Add the sliced baby Bella mushrooms and the previously cooked patties back into the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 7 to 10 minutes until mushrooms are tender and the gravy is rich and thickened.
- Serve: Plate the Salisbury steak with your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete, satisfying meal.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, increase the flour slightly or cook longer to reduce.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute panko breadcrumbs and flour with gluten-free alternatives.
- Use homemade steak seasoning or a store-bought blend to add depth of flavor.
- Leftover Salisbury steak can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- Adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy at the end can enhance the umami flavor.
