Description

Classic Salisbury Steak recipe featuring tender ground beef patties simmered in a rich brown gravy, perfect for a comforting family dinner. Served with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles, this dish combines savory flavors and simple ingredients for a hearty meal in just 40 minutes.

Ingredients

For the Salisbury Steaks

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Gravy

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the meat mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat, which keeps the patties tender.
  2. Shape the patties: Form the mixture into oval-shaped patties about 3/4 inch thick, ensuring they are even in size for consistent cooking.
  3. Sear the patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the hot pan and sear for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust develops.
  4. Make the gravy roux: Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. In the skillet with the drippings, whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden and fragrant.
  5. Create the gravy: Gradually add the beef broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Stir until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth.
  6. Simmer the patties: Return the seared patties to the skillet with the gravy. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the patties to fully cook through.
  7. Serve: Plate the Salisbury steaks and spoon the rich gravy over them. Serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles for a complete comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs and flour with gluten-free alternatives.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
  • Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
  • Leftover Salisbury steak can be reheated gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth to keep it moist.
