Salisbury Steak with Mushroom-Onion Gravy

This is one of my favorite go-to recipes when I have ground beef I need to use. And the gravy is divine over some rice or mashed potatoes (or even mashed sweet potatoes).

Total Time: 45 minutes (Prep - 15 minutes / Cook - 30 minutes)

Servings: 4

Ingredients

For The Steak

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

• 1 large egg

• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

• Lots of fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)

• 1 tablespoon cooking oil (for searing beef patties)

For the Mushroom-Onion Gravy

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced or diced

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour (depending on how thick you like your gravy)

• 3 cups broth (beef is best, but you can use chicken or vegetable)

• Kosher salt

• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together all the steak ingredients (beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic, salt, mustard powder, salt and black pepper). Shape into 4 oval patties.

2. Heat large pan over medium-high heat and then add oil. Brown both sides of patties (about 1 minute per side) and then remove them from the pan.

3. Keep the same pan with the beef juices over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until onions are golden and excess mushroom liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.

4. Add garlic and butter. Cook for about 1 minute.

5. Stir in the flour, cooking and stirring to remove lumps. Add about 1/2 to 1 cup of broth, whisking until incorporated.

6. Increase heat to high. Slowly pour in the remaining broth and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste (the saltiness and flavors will concentrate some when it reduces down).

7. Once gravy starts to boil, reduce heat to low. Stirring often, simmer until the gravy starts to thicken, about 5-10 minutes. Add Salisbury steak patties back into the gravy and cook until the steak patties are cooked to preferred doneness (usually about 5-10 minutes), stirring the gravy occasionally around the steaks. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if desired.

8. Serve the steaks topped with the mushroom sauce. They are excellent over rice, pasta or mashed potatoes.
