Description
This recipe brings back memories of cozy family dinners with a plate of Salisbury steak smothered in rich mushroom and onion gravy. It’s a classic comfort food that makes you feel at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for the best flavor)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined, but don’t overwork the meat.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and browned.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another minute until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Allow them to simmer together for a couple of minutes to meld the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up that delicious gravy!
