Here’s a classic Salisbury Steak with Gravy recipe — hearty, comforting, and perfect with mashed potatoes or rice.
🥩 Salisbury Steak with Gravy
Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Steaks
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
For the Gravy
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Patties
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Form into 4 oval patties.
2️⃣ Cook the Patties
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil or butter.
- Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder.
- Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
4️⃣ Combine Patties and Gravy
- Return the cooked patties to the skillet and spoon gravy over them.
- Simmer 5–10 minutes until patties are fully cooked and flavors meld.
5️⃣ Serve
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
✨ Tips
- Extra tender: Use ½ ground beef and ½ ground pork for juicier patties.
- Make-ahead: Patties can be shaped in advance and refrigerated for a few hours before cooking.
- Gravy variation: Add sliced mushrooms while making the gravy for a mushroom Salisbury Steak.
If you want, I can also give a slow-cooker version that makes the patties extra tender and infuses the gravy with deep flavor — very hands-off cooking.
