Ingredients
Scale
Salisbury Steak Patties
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (for the skillet)
Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sides
- Mashed potatoes, prepared
- Roasted broccoli, prepared
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into an oval patty about 3/4-inch thick.
- Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Reduce heat as needed to prevent burning. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate.
- Make the Gravy Base: Lower the heat to medium and, in the same skillet with the drippings, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Finish the Gravy: Reduce heat to medium-low and gradually whisk in the beef stock. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder until fully combined. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer Steaks in Gravy: Nestle the partially cooked steaks back into the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Cover and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F, ensuring they are fully cooked through.
- Serve: Plate the Salisbury steaks over prepared mashed potatoes and spoon mushroom gravy on top. Serve alongside roasted broccoli for a complete meal.
Notes
- Ensure the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
- Use lean ground beef for a healthier option and to avoid excessive grease.
- Panko breadcrumbs help keep the patties tender and add a light texture.
- You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms if preferred.
- Make sure to cook the gravy slowly and whisk continuously to avoid lumps.
- Leftover Salisbury steak can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
