Ingredients

For the Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons A1 steak sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire 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, panko breadcrumbs, A1 steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, homemade steak seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly with hands (wear gloves if preferred). Shape mixture into four round patties about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
  2. Cook the Patties: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove patties from skillet and place on a plate. Cover with foil or lid to keep warm.
  3. Prepare for Gravy: If there is more than 1 tablespoon of grease left in the skillet from cooking the patties, spoon out the excess, leaving roughly 1 tablespoon to retain flavor. Do not clean the skillet; keep the pan drippings.
  4. Sauté Onions: Add 3 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions become translucent.
  5. Make the Roux: Sprinkle in the flour and stir it into the butter and onion mixture. Cook for approximately 2 minutes until the flour lightly browns, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  6. Add Broth and Thicken: Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to integrate the roux smoothly. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy begins to thicken. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  7. Combine Patties and Mushrooms: Add the sliced baby Bella mushrooms and the cooked patties back into the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 7 to 10 minutes until mushrooms are tender and gravy is thickened.
  8. Serve: Serve the Salisbury steak with your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. Warm bread is recommended to enjoy the flavorful gravy.

Notes

  • To keep patties juicy, avoid overmixing the meat mixture.
  • Make sure to brown the flour well to prevent a raw flour taste in the gravy.
  • Use fresh mushrooms and thinly slice onions for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust seasoning gradually and taste frequently when making the gravy.
  • Cover cooked patties to keep them warm and moist before adding back to the gravy.
