Ingredients

Scale

For the Salisbury Steak:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salisbury Steaks:
    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.
  • Cook the Steaks:
    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
  • Make the Gravy:
    In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  • Add the Broth:
    Gradually stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened slightly. If the gravy is too thin, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine and Serve:
    Return the cooked Salisbury steaks to the skillet and spoon the gravy over the patties. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through. Serve the Salisbury steaks with mashed potatoes or rice and a side of vegetables.

Notes

Salisbury steak pairs wonderfully with classic sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or a splash of red wine to the gravy.
