Ingredients
For the Steak Patties:
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

For the Mushroom Gravy:
- 2 cups Mushroom, sliced

- Shape into 4–6 oval patties.
2. Cook the patties
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil.
- Brown patties on both sides for 3–4 minutes each (they will finish cooking in the gravy). Remove and set aside.
3. Make the mushroom gravy

- Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually add beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps.

- Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes until patties are cooked through and the gravy is thick and flavorful.
5. Serve
- Spoon patties and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Tips for Juicy Salisbury Steak
- Don’t overmix the beef—overworking makes it tough.
- Browning the patties first adds flavor to the gravy.
- For extra richness, add a splash of Heavy Cream to the gravy.
