Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 small onion, finely minced
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, minced onion, egg, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 6 oval-shaped patties, about 1 inch thick.
  3. Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the dried thyme and Dijon mustard. Bring the gravy to a simmer.
  7. Return the browned patties to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the patties simmer in the gravy for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through and juicy.
  8. Taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving. Serve the Salisbury steak immediately over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Notes

  • For extra flavor in the patties, substitute half of the breadcrumbs with crushed saltine crackers.
  • If you prefer a smoother gravy, strain the liquid after simmering the patties, then return the strained gravy to the pan to thicken slightly before adding the beef back in.
  • This recipe works well when made ahead; store patties and gravy separately and reheat gently on the stovetop.
