Ingredients
  

For the patties
  • 1 pound ground beef Use lean ground beef for best results.
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs Panko breadcrumbs can be used for extra crunch.
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg Binds the mixture together.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to personal preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Adds depth of flavor.
For the gravy
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons flour For thickening the gravy.
  • 2 tablespoons butter One for cooking the patties and one for making the gravy.
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped Optional, for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Get in there with your hands, but don’t over-mix.
  2. Form the mixture into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 4-6 patties.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sprinkle in the flour, whisking until it forms a nice, golden paste. Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking. Let it simmer until it thickens.
  3. Add the patties back into the pan with the gravy and simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Serving
  1. Plate your Salisbury steak, spoon the gravy generously over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Don't skimp on browning the patties, as it adds wonderful flavor to your gravy. Leftover patties can be used for sandwiches.
