Here’s a simple way to make Salisbury steak, a classic comfort dish with savory gravy:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (plus extra for gravy)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp oil (for frying)
For the gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- Make the patties:
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Shape into 4 oval patties.
- Cook the patties:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Brown the patties on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- Make the gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté extra chopped onions until soft.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine:
- Return patties to the gravy, cover, and simmer 10–15 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve:
- Perfect with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice.
💡 Tip: You can add mushrooms to the gravy for extra flavor.
If you want, I can give a shortcut oven version that’s easier and mess-free. Do you want me to do that?
