Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy: A Stick-to-Your-Ribs American Classic
🥕 Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Steaks:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for flavor)
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Mushroom Gravy:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

🍲 Instructions

Make the Steaks:

  • In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Form into 4 oval patties, about ¾ inch thick.

Sear the Patties:

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil.
  • Sear patties on both sides until browned, about 3–4 minutes per side (they’ll finish cooking in the gravy). Set aside.

Make the Gravy:

  • In the same skillet, melt butter. Add onions and mushrooms and sauté until browned and soft, about 6–8 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1–2 minutes until it smells nutty.
  • Slowly whisk in beef broth, then add Worcestershire and mustard. Simmer until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.

Finish the Steaks in the Gravy:

  • Nestle patties back into the skillet. Spoon gravy over top.
  • Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until steaks are cooked through.

Serve:

  • Spoon steaks and plenty of gravy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Pro Tip: Add a splash of heavy cream to the gravy at the end for extra richness, or try swapping in ground turkey for a lighter twist.
