Ingredients
Scale
Salisbury Steaks
- 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 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (slurry)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Salisbury Steaks: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, tomato sauce or ketchup, egg, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat to ensure tenderness.
- Shape Patties: Form the mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties, evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Brown the Patties: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side to develop a nice brown crust. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Onions and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and mushrooms and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until they have softened and released their moisture.
- Add Seasonings and Broth: Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Thicken the Gravy: Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the gravy has thickened. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer Patties in Gravy: Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them carefully into the mushroom gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the patties simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until fully cooked through.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, spooned with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes or rice for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the ground beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
- Using low-sodium beef broth helps control the saltiness of the dish.
- The cornstarch slurry is key to achieving a smooth, thickened gravy.
- If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
