Ingredients
  

For the Salisbury Steaks:

  • 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Gravy:

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparing the Salisbury Steaks

  • Mix the Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Blend all the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the steaks tough.
  • Shape the Patties:
    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into oval patties. This shape helps them cook evenly and resemble the traditional Salisbury steak.
  • Cook the Patties:
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Take the patties out of the skillet and set them aside.

Making the Gravy

  • Sauté the Vegetables:
    In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms, and cook until they are softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Create the Roux:
    Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms and stir well to combine. Cook for approximately one minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Add the Liquids:
    Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer the mixture for 3-5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bringing It All Together

  • Combine and Simmer:
    Return the cooked patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Lower the heat and let the patties simmer in the gravy for around 10minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve your homemade Salisbury steaks hot, smothered in that rich, savory gravy. Pair them with mashed potatoes, green beans, or any of your favorite sides for a complete meal.
