  • ½ cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 8 ounces sliced white button mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • cups beef broth
  • 1 cube beef bouillon
  • teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Sauté the finely diced yellow onion and minced garlic for 5 minutes. Remove from the pan to a bowl, and let cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, prepared mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, dried oregano, and freshly ground black pepper. Add the Italian breadcrumbs and stir to form a paste. Stir in the cooled onions and garlic. Add the ground beef and mix until just combined.
  3. Form the ground beef mixture into 4 oval steak patties. Refrigerate for (at least) 15 minutes to ensure they stay intact while cooking.
  4. Using the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown 2 steaks at a time for 1 minute on each side, then remove and set aside. The centers will be uncooked.
  5. Using the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 5 more minutes, until golden. Add the butter and let it melt. Whisk in the flour for 1 to 2 minutes, until it begins to brown.
  6. Add the beef broth in small amounts, stirring continuously. Add the beef bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring the gravy to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  7. Add the steaks back to the skillet and spoon the sauce on top. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover Salisbury Steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked patties for up to two months. Just thaw and reheat in the skillet.
  • Pairing: Serve your Salisbury Steak with buttery mashed potatoes or a side of green beans for a classic combination.
  • Variations: Add sautéed bell peppers or spinach to the gravy for an extra veggie boost.
  • Gravy alternatives: Try using mushroom soup instead of broth for a creamy twist on the gravy.
