Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal oval-shaped patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Bring the gravy to a simmer.
  7. Return the browned patties to the skillet. Spoon some gravy over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steaks simmer in the gravy for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through and tender.
  8. Serve your Salisbury steak immediately, spooning plenty of the rich mushroom gravy over each patty. This pairs well with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Notes

  • For extra flavor in your patties, substitute half the ground beef with ground pork.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before returning the patties.
  • You can make this a Crock Pot Salisbury Steak by browning the patties first, then placing them in the slow cooker with the prepared gravy mixture and cooking on low for 4 hours.
