🍲This classic Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy is pure comfort food. Juicy, flavorful beef patties are smothered in a rich, savory gravy loaded with mushrooms and onions. It’s an easy weeknight dinner that tastes like it came from a cozy American diner.
Ingredients🧑🍳
For the Salisbury Steaks:
1 lb ground beef
1 large egg
¼ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Mushroom Gravy:
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1–2 tablespoons oil or butter (for cooking)
🧑🍳Instructions
Make the patties: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then shape the mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties.
Brown the steaks: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Make the gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Season the gravy: Add the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.
Simmer the steaks: Return the browned patties to the skillet. Spoon some gravy over the top. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
Serve: Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, smothered in the mushroom gravy. This dish pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
Tips for Success✅
For extra flavor, use a mix of ground beef and ground pork.
Don’t skip searing the patties — it adds great depth to the dish.
If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of beef broth to loosen it.
This recipe tastes even better the next day.
