Ingredients
Scale
For the Salisbury Steaks
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Onion Gravy
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Shape the mixture into 4 to 5 evenly sized oval patties.
- Brown the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust. Once browned, remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Onion Gravy: In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Sauté the onions over medium heat until they are softened and golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the onions and stir well to combine. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer the mixture, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to a smooth consistency.
- Simmer Patties in Gravy: Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them in the onion gravy. Spoon some gravy over the patties to coat them well. Cover and let simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the patties are cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, generously topped with the rich onion gravy. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
