Ingredients
Salisbury Steaks
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- Pinch of salt
Gravy
- 1 large Vidalia onion, diced
- 4 ounces sliced white mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 1/2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
- 3 cups beef stock
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
- Mix the Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, use your hands to blend together the ground beef, panko bread crumbs, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, onion powder, pepper, and salt until well combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into an oval patty about 1/2 inch thick.
- Brown the Patties: Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat in a large cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet. Add the patties and cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes until browned. Remove patties and place on a platter; keep warm.
- Cook Onions and Mushrooms: Pour off excess fat from the skillet and return it to heat. Add diced onions and cook until they become translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until softened. Stir in thyme, garlic powder, and flour; cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
- Prepare the Gravy: Gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring to scrape up browned bits from the pan. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. When the gravy starts to thicken, lower the heat and stir in butter. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer the Patties: Return the beef patties to the skillet with the gravy. Cook on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or chives over the dish before serving. Serve the Salisbury steaks hot with the mushroom onion gravy.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free bread crumbs and use cornstarch instead of flour for thickening.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content and avoid excessive grease during cooking.
- Allow the patties to rest a few minutes after cooking to redistribute juices for better texture.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
