Recipe: Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Ingredients:
For the Steaks:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
For the Mushroom Gravy:
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional, for a more classic Salisbury steak)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Make the Steaks: In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into patties.
- Cook the Steaks: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the patties and set aside.
- Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and mushrooms (if using) and sauté until softened. Sprinkle flour over the onions and mushrooms, stirring to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Combine and Serve: Return the beef patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy. Let them simmer in the gravy for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve the Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes or rice, and enjoy this cozy, delicious meal!
