Here’s a classic Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy recipe that’s hearty, comforting, and perfect for a cozy meal:
Ingredients
For the Steaks:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the Onion Gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Steaks:
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Shape into 4 oval patties.
- Cook the Patties:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil.
- Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Sauté until soft and caramelized (about 8–10 minutes).
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for 1–2 minutes.
- Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Simmer the Steaks in Gravy:
- Return patties to the skillet, spooning some gravy over them.
- Simmer for 10–15 minutes until the patties are cooked through and the gravy is thickened.
- Serve:
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and pour extra gravy on top.
✅ Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of thyme or paprika to the gravy.
- Browning the patties first adds depth of flavor to both the steaks and the gravy.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge and reheat nicely.
