Ingredients
  

For the Salisbury Steak Patties
  • 1 lb Ground beef (80/20) Preferred for flavor
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Plain or Italian style
  • 1 large Egg Helps bind the patties
  • 1 medium Onion Grated or finely minced
  • 1 clove Garlic Optional, fresh or powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
For the Mushroom Gravy
  • 8 oz Mushrooms Button or cremini, sliced
  • 2 cups Beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Flour Or cornstarch as a thickener

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat oil or butter over medium heat.
  2. Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, grated onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.
  3. Mix gently with your fingers until just combined, then form into 4 to 6 evenly-shaped oval patties.
Cooking
  1. Brown the patties in the skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer to a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and any extra onion, cooking until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir for about 1 minute.
  4. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to keep the mixture smooth.
  5. Add Worcestershire sauce and a dash of pepper, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Return the browned patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over the top, and simmer for 8 to 12 minutes until cooked through.

Notes

This recipe is forgiving with substitutions. You can use ground turkey, different types of breadcrumbs, or omit mushrooms if desired. Prepare patties ahead of time and refrigerate for up to a day. Freeze cooked patties with gravy for up to 2 months.
