Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce or ketchup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Cornstarch for thickening (mixed with water to create slurry)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, tomato sauce, egg, mustard, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until just combined to avoid tough patties. Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties.
- Brown the Patties: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice brown crust. Remove patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Onions and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes until they soften and release their moisture, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer with Broth: Pour in the beef broth, then stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Return the browned patties to the skillet and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until patties are fully cooked through, and flavors meld.
- Thicken the Gravy: Mix cornstarch with a little cold water to form a slurry. Stir this into the simmering gravy, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, generously topped with the mushroom gravy.
Notes
- Use 80% lean ground beef for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
- Do not overmix the beef mixture to keep patties tender.
- Adjust gravy thickness by varying the amount of cornstarch slurry added.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles for a classic meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
