Ingredients

For the Salisbury Steaks

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons A1 steak sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon homemade steak seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For the Gravy

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thin
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups beef broth (or stock)
  • Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz sliced baby Bella mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, A1 steak sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly using your hands and form into 4 round patties approximately ¾ to 1 inch thick.
  2. Cook the Patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the patties and cook for 5 minutes on each side until fully cooked through. Remove patties and place on a plate, tent with foil to keep warm.
  3. Prepare the Skillet: If there is excess grease left in the skillet, spoon out until only about 1 tablespoon remains. Do not clean the skillet to keep the flavor from the drippings.
  4. Sauté Onions: Add 3 tablespoons butter to the skillet and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes until translucent.
  5. Make Roux: Stir in the flour with the butter and onions. Cook for about 2 minutes until the flour turns lightly brown, cooking out the raw taste.
  6. Add Broth: Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  7. Add Mushrooms & Simmer: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and return the cooked patties to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes until mushrooms are tender and the gravy has thickened further.
  8. Serve: Serve the Salisbury steak with the mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables. Warm bread is recommended to enjoy with the rich gravy.

Notes

  • Use gloves when mixing the patties to keep hands clean and prevent overworking the meat.
  • Don’t discard the pan drippings; they add rich flavor to the gravy.
  • Adjust seasoning in the gravy to your preference, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
  • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, steamed vegetables, or warm crusty bread to soak up the gravy.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute panko breadcrumbs and flour with gluten-free alternatives.
