Salisbury steak with onion gravy is one of those classic, comforting meals—juicy beef patties smothered in a rich, savory sauce. It’s simple, filling, and tastes like something straight out of a cozy home kitchen.
🥩 What you’ll need
For the steaks:
- Ground beef
- Breadcrumbs
- Egg
- Onion (finely chopped)
- Garlic
- Salt, pepper
- A splash of Worcestershire sauce
For the onion gravy:
- Sliced onions
- Butter or oil
- Beef broth
- A little flour (for thickening)
- Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper
🍳 How to make it
1. Make the patties
Mix ground beef with breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, and seasonings. Shape into oval patties.
2. Brown them
Cook in a pan until nicely browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the onions
In the same pan, sauté sliced onions until soft and golden.
4. Build the gravy
Sprinkle in flour, stir, then slowly add beef broth while mixing to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and let it thicken.
5. Simmer together
Return the patties to the pan, cover, and simmer for about 10–15 minutes so everything soaks up that flavor.
🍽️ Serve with
- Mashed potatoes (perfect for soaking up gravy)
- Rice or buttered noodles
- Steamed vegetables
It’s the kind of dish that feels nostalgic even if you didn’t grow up eating it. If you want, I can help you tweak it—healthier version, spicier twist, or even a quicker 20-minute version.
