Ingredients
  

For the Salisbury Steaks
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 is best) Use 80/20 ground beef for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Mushroom Gravy
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button) Choose mushrooms based on preference.
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth Use low sodium if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water For thickening the gravy.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.
Cooking the Steaks
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a dash of oil. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  2. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Gravy
  1. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and toss in the mushrooms and onions. Sauté until golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cornstarch mixture until the gravy thickens.
Final Touches
  1. Return the steak patties to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them. Cook for a couple more minutes to absorb flavor.
  2. Plate the Salisbury steaks and drizzle with extra gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Don’t rush the browning for a deeper flavor. Feel free to use different types of mushrooms to customize. This dish tastes even better the next day.
