Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions for Salisbury Steak
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Place the patties in the skillet, ensuring they have space between them.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Add more olive oil, then add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for around 5 minutes until translucent.
Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing to a gentle simmer and stirring occasionally for 2 minutes.
Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, stir into the gravy, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Return the patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and let simmer for a few minutes.
Serve hot, drizzled with mushroom gravy, over mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed veggies.
Notes
For the best results, choose quality meat, do not overmix patties, and let them simmer in the gravy to meld flavors.
