A comforting dinner staple, Salisbury Steak is a classic choice for a hearty meal. Made with seasoned ground beef patties and smothered in savory gravy, it’s perfect for serving with mashed potatoes or rice.

Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. Prepare the Salisbury Steaks:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.
  2. 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 browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 with mashed potatoes or rice and a side of vegetables.
