Ingredients

Scale

Salisbury Steaks

  • 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

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon butter (for patties)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (for gravy)
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Patties: In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, egg, panko breadcrumbs, A1 steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly with hands (use gloves if preferred) until evenly combined. Shape the mixture into 4 round patties, each about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
  2. Cook Patties: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove patties from skillet and place on a plate; cover with foil or a lid to keep warm.
  3. Prepare Pan for Gravy: Check the skillet for excess grease. If there is more than 1 tablespoon, carefully spoon off the extra grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan along with the drippings.
  4. Sauté Onions: Add 3 tablespoons butter to the skillet and scrape up all browned bits from the bottom using a spoon. Add sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent and softened.
  5. Make Roux: Stir in the flour with the butter and onions. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the flour turns lightly browned to develop flavor.
  6. Add Broth and Thicken Gravy: Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the gravy begins to thicken. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper, tasting to adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Add Mushrooms and Patties: Stir in the sliced baby Bella mushrooms and return the cooked patties to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let everything simmer together for 7 to 10 minutes, allowing mushrooms to become tender and gravy to thicken fully.
  8. Serve: Serve the Salisbury steaks hot with the mushroom gravy poured over. Accompany with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables, and include warm bread on the side to soak up the delicious gravy.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter texture in the patties.
  • Adjust seasoning in the gravy carefully; gradual addition of salt and pepper ensures balanced flavor.
  • Keep the pan drippings in the skillet to enhance the gravy’s depth of flavor.
  • If preferred, substitute beef broth with homemade stock for richer taste.
  • This recipe pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
  • To keep patties intact, handle mixture lightly when forming to avoid dense texture.
  • Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor, but canned mushrooms can be substituted in a pinch.
