Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Patties

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef , breadcrumbs , milk , egg , Worcestershire sauce , Dijon mustard , onion powder , garlic powder , salt , and pepper .
2. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated—avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval-shaped patties, about ¾-inch thick.

Step 2: Cook the Patties

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat .
2. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes per side , or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
3. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Mushroom Gravy

1. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms . Sauté for 6–7 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are golden brown.
3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute , allowing the flour to toast slightly and thicken the mixture.
4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce , ensuring no lumps remain.
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 4–5 minutes , or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Combine and Finish

1. Return the cooked patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
2. Spoon the gravy over the patties and let everything simmer on low heat for 5 minutes , allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 5: Serve

1. Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, spooning extra gravy over the top.
2. Pair with creamy mashed potatoes , buttery rice , or crusty bread to soak up the delicious mushroom gravy.

Tips for Success

• Use lean ground beef : For tender patties, choose an 80/20 blend of ground beef for juiciness without excess grease.
• Customize the gravy : Add a splash of red wine or a pinch of thyme to elevate the flavor of the mushroom gravy.
• Make it ahead : The patties and gravy can be prepared in advance and reheated before serving. Add a little extra beef broth when reheating to loosen the gravy if needed.

Serving Suggestions

• Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
• Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
