how to make Salisbury Steak
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons A1 steak sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon homemade steak seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion (sliced thin)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups beef broth (or stock)
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper (to taste)
- 8 oz sliced baby Bella mushrooms
Directions:
-
Patties: In a medium-sized bowl, mix ground beef, egg, panko breadcrumbs, A1 steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use your hands to blend everything well. Shape the mixture into 4 round patties about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once melted, cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked. Remove them from the skillet and keep warm by covering with foil or a lid.
-
Gravy: If there’s more than a tablespoon of grease left in the skillet, carefully discard the extra until about 1 tablespoon remains. Do not wash the skillet; the drippings add flavor to your gravy.
-
Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and scrape up the bits from the bottom. Add sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes until they’re translucent.
-
Stir in the flour into the butter and onions. Cook the flour for about 2 minutes until slightly browned.
-
While stirring, slowly add the beef broth until all the flour mixes in without lumps. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms and the cooked patties back into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 7 to 10 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the gravy is thick.
-
Serve the Salisbury Steak with mashed potatoes, over rice, or with your favorite vegetables. Don’t forget some warm bread to soak up the gravy!
