How to Make Salisbury Steak
Make the Patties: Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and onion powder. Shape into 1-inch thick oval patties.
Brown the Patties: Cook the patties in a large skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned on the outside. They will not be fully cooked yet. Remove from the skillet.
Cook the Vegetables: Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms and cook until softened.
Make the Gravy: Stir in the flour, then gradually add the beef broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir in the Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet. Cook until the gravy begins to thicken.
Finish the Salisbury Steak: Return the patties to the skillet and spoon some gravy over the top. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Don’t overwork the beef when forming the patties so they stay tender.
- Brown the patties first for extra flavor; they’ll finish cooking in the gravy.
- Use the same skillet so all those browned bits flavor the gravy.
- Let the gravy simmer until thick and rich before serving.
