Classic Salisbury Steak

Ingredients:

For the Steaks:

• 1½ lbs ground beef
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika

For the Gravy:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Method:

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix gently until combined.
2. Shape the mixture into 4–6 oval patties.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties for about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
4. Add the butter to the same skillet. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened and golden.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute.
6. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and black pepper.
7. Return the Salisbury steaks to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them.
8. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the steaks are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
9. Serve hot over creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, with plenty of mushroom-onion gravy. 🥩🍄🥔
