Ingredients
Scale
For the Salisbury Steak:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For Cooking:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (for the skillet)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
For the Gravy:
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving:
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted broccoli
Instructions
- Prepare the Salisbury Steak Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and kosher salt. Mix gently until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat, which can make the patties tough. Form the mixture into four evenly sized oval patties.
- Cook the Patties: Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and let it melt. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and browned.
- Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Gradually whisk in the beef stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a gravy-like consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Spoon some gravy over the top and let everything simmer together for 3-5 minutes to meld flavors and heat through.
- Serve: Plate the Salisbury steak with a generous ladle of mushroom gravy. Serve immediately alongside creamy mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli for a complete comforting meal.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef (80/20) to keep the patties juicy but not greasy.
- Do not overmix the meat mixture to ensure tender patties.
- Panko breadcrumbs help provide a light texture to the patties compared to regular breadcrumbs.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs and use gluten-free flour for the gravy.
- Leftover Salisbury steak can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in a skillet.
- The gravy can be adjusted in thickness by varying the amount of flour used.
