How to make homemade Salisbury steak?

First, start by dicing and slicing the onions and mushrooms.

You know, do a little prep work, that way you can focus on the meal while it cooks.

Ground beef and other ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Next, grab a large bowl and toss in the ground beef. Crack the egg and add it too.

After that, add the breadcrumbs, chopped onion, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper.

The ground beef has been combined with the other ingredients.

Mix everything together using your wooden spoon or hands. Form the ground beef into little patties.

Then, place the skillet over medium heat. Give the oil a minute or two (2) to heat up before adding the Salisbury steaks.

The beef mixture formed into patties cooking in the skillet.

Let them cook for about five to seven minutes (5-7) on each side, then remove them from the pan. It’s time to make the gravy.

To begin the mushroom gravy, combine the beef broth, more Worcestershire sauce, flour, and Dijon mustard. Set the mixture aside.

Afterward, using the same pan you cooked the steaks in, melt the butter over low heat.

The cooked patties have been replaced with onions and mushrooms.

Now, add the sliced onions, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. You’ll want to let everything cook for about five (5) minutes.

That process will soften the veggies. Once they’ve cooked, carefully pour in the broth and mustard mixture.

Use your whisk to blend everything. Last, place the Salisbury steaks back into the pan and let them simmer for about twelve (12) minutes.

Be sure to stir the gravy as it cooks and thickens.

That’s it, your homemade Salisbury steak recipe is done! Remove them from the heat and serve.

Kim and I hope you enjoy this comforting meal and wish you all the best 🙂

Recipe Tips:

  • I can’t emphasize how important it is to stir the gravy while it cooks. Otherwise, it could stick and burn.
  • We used ground beef with a fat ratio of 93/7. However, you don’t have to use that ratio. Just keep in mind, the higher the fat, the more the patties will shrink.
  • Don’t like mushrooms, then leave them out. An onion gravy is still really tasty.

Instructions
 

Salisbury Steaks

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal sized, oval shaped patties.
    1 pound ground beef
    1 large egg
    1/3 cup breadcrumbs
    1/4 cup white onion
    1 tablespoon tomato paste
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Heat the cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove the steaks to a waiting plate. Set aside.
    1 tablespoon canola oil

Gravy

  • In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, flour, and Worcestershire sauce and Dijon Mustard. Set aside.
    2 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Using the same pan you used to cook the patties, melt the butter over low-medium heat, then add the onion, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the onions and mushrooms begin to soften. Slowly pour in the beef broth mixture. Stir to combine.
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1/2 cup white onion
    8 ounces white mushrooms
    Salt and black pepper
  • Add the patties back to the pan, and simmer over medium heat for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until the gravy begins to thicken. Stir the gravy as needed to ensure it doesn’t stick and burn. Let the gravy reduce by about half then remove it from heat. It will thicken more as it cools.
  • Serve the patties with the gravy over mashed potatoes.
