Here’s a classic Salisbury Steak recipe—rich, savory, and perfect for a comforting dinner:
Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25–30 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Steaks:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80% lean works best)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Gravy:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Beef Mixture
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape Patties
- Divide mixture into 4 portions and shape into oval patties.
- Cook Patties
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil.
- Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Make the Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced onions until soft.
- Sprinkle flour over onions and stir for 1–2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer until gravy thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
- Combine & Simmer
- Return patties to the skillet and coat with gravy.
- Simmer on low for 5–7 minutes to let flavors meld and patties cook through.
- Serve
- Serve Salisbury steak hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles. Spoon extra gravy over the top.
💡 Tips:
- Add mushrooms to the gravy for a hearty touch.
- For lighter versions, use ground turkey or lean beef.
- Can be made ahead and reheated; flavor improves after sitting in gravy.
If you want, I can also give a quick 15-minute skillet version of Salisbury steak that skips baking and still tastes restaurant-quality. Do you want me to provide that?
