🍽️ Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy
🧂 Ingredients
For the steaks
- 500 g ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the onion gravy
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce (optional for depth)
- Salt & pepper to taste
🍳 Instructions
1. Make the patties
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper
- Form into oval-shaped patties (like thick steaks)
2. Brown the steaks
- Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil
- Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side until browned
- Remove and set aside (they’ll finish cooking later)
3. Cook the onions
- In the same pan, melt butter
- Add sliced onions and cook slowly until soft and caramelized (about 10–15 minutes)
4. Make the gravy
- Sprinkle flour over onions and stir for 1–2 minutes
- Slowly add beef broth while stirring
- Add Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce
- Simmer until thickened
5. Finish cooking
- Return patties to the pan
- Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes until fully cooked and tender
6. Serve
- Spoon onion gravy over the steaks
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables
🔥 Tips for best flavor
- Don’t rush the onions—slow cooking builds sweetness
- Add a splash of cream or butter at the end for richer gravy
- Let patties rest a few minutes before serving
