Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal oval patties, about 1 inch thick.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped yellow onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly whisk in the beef broth until the mixture is smooth. Add the dried thyme and Dijon mustard. Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  7. Return the beef patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover the skillet and let the steaks simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
  8. Serve the Salisbury steaks immediately, spooning the rich mushroom gravy over the top.

Notes

  • Serve this dish over creamy mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the extra gravy.
  • For a deeper flavor in the gravy, use beef bouillon paste instead of some of the beef broth.
  • If you prefer an onion gravy, omit the mushrooms and use 1 cup of thinly sliced onions instead.
