Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy (Serves 4)
Salisbury Steak Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 works great)
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Onion Gravy Ingredients
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: splash of milk or cream for extra richness
Make the Patties
- In a bowl, gently mix all steak ingredients (don’t overwork).
- Form into oval patties (about 4–6).
Brown the Patties
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
- Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side until nicely seared.
- Remove patties and set aside (they’ll finish cooking in the gravy).
Make the Onion Gravy
- Add butter to the same skillet.
- Add onions and cook over medium heat until soft and golden (15–20 minutes).
- Sprinkle flour over onions and cook 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer until gravy thickens.
Simmer Together
- Return patties to the skillet.
- Spoon gravy over them.
- Cover and simmer 10–15 minutes, until patties are cooked through and tender.
Serve With
- Mashed potatoes 🥔 (non-negotiable)
- Egg noodles or rice
- Green beans or peas
- Buttered bread to mop up gravy
Pro Tips
- Want extra tender patties? Add 1–2 tbsp milk to the meat.
- Want mushroom gravy? Add sliced mushrooms with the onions.
- Want old-school diner flavor? Add ½ tsp beef bouillon or Kitchen Bouquet.
