Here’s a complete guide for Salisbury steak:
Salisbury steak is a ground beef dish shaped like a steak, usually served with a rich onion and mushroom gravy. Despite the name, it’s more like a hearty meatloaf patty than an actual steak.
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
For the gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Make the patties:
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Shape into 4 oval patties.
- Cook the patties:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Make the gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced mushrooms and onion until soft.
- Sprinkle flour and cook 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine & serve:
- Return patties to the gravy and simmer 5 minutes.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
