Instructions

  1. Line a plate with parchment or wax paper. In a large bowl, whisk together milk and bread crumbs. Add beef and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper) and knead until combined.
  2. Using wet hands, shape the mixture into four 1/2-inch thick oval patties and transfer to lined plate. Chill at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter until foaming. Add patties and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and reserve fat in skillet.
  4. To the skillet, add onion and remaining 3 tablespoons butter and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Stir in tomato paste and flour and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Slowly stir in beef broth and red wine, and bring to a simmer.
  6. Return patties to the skillet and cover. Simmer over medium-low heat until cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper (personally I don't think it needs more at this point). Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.

Notes

  • Bread crumbs: Homemade bread crumbs or plain store-bought work well.
  • Mushrooms: White button mushrooms are good, or substitute baby portobellos or your favorite wild mushrooms.
  • Beef broth: I always keep a jar of “Better than Bouillon” beef base in the fridge, a paste which is similar to bullion cubes and you dissolve it in boiling water. It is widely available and tastes delicious. You can substitute chicken broth, too.
  • Red wine: Just a basic, unfussy red wine for the sauce: cabernet, merlot, or pinot noir. Buy what you like so you can enjoy the rest with dinner.
  • Yield: This recipe makes 4 hearty patties and plenty of gravy for each, enough for 4 generous servings of Salisbury Steak.
  • Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
