Ingredients
Scale
- For the Patties:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small onion, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- For the Gravy:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties:
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions and shape them into oval patties.
- Sear the Patties:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
- Sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add the flour and whisk continuously to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Simmer the Patties:
- Add sliced mushrooms and onions to the gravy if desired, and let them cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the patties to the skillet, cover, and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F.
- Serve:
- Plate the Salisbury steak patties and spoon the gravy generously over the top.
- Pair with mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch.
- To make it low-carb, swap breadcrumbs with almond flour.
- This dish freezes well; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Add a splash of heavy cream to the gravy for an extra velvety texture.
