Salisbury Steak
Description
Salisbury Steak is prepared by mixing ground beef with finely grated onion, panko breadcrumbs, an egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. The mixture is shaped into four oval patties and browned in olive oil until seared on each side. The patties finish cooking in the pan under a mushroom-onion gravy, made by sautéing sliced onions and mushrooms with garlic and butter, then thickening with flour and slowly adding beef broth, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. The gravy simmers until thickened and coats the steaks.
The resulting dish features tender and juicy meat patties combined with a smooth, savory mushroom and onion gravy. The mushrooms provide an earthy flavor and texture contrast to the meat, while the Worcestershire and mustard in both the patties and gravy create a balanced tanginess. This dish is typically served warm, making for a hearty meal.
The recipe uses common kitchen staples and does not require complex techniques, making it an approachable dish for those wanting a home-cooked meat entrée with a classic American flavor profile. Browning the patties before simmering in gravy seals in juices and adds depth to the flavor, while gradually adding broth to the roux prevents lumps, ensuring a smooth sauce.
Ingredients
MEAT MIXTURE:
- 1 lb ground beef lean
- 1 medium yellow onion divided
- 1/3 /3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt if using fine salt use less, coarse
- Worcestershire sauce dash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
GRAVY:
- onion remainder from above, sliced
- 8 ounces white mushroom sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth I like Better than Bouillon Base, low-sodium
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Place the beef in a large bowl. Finely dice or grate 1/4 cup of the onion. Add the 1/4 cup onion to the ground meat. Slice the remaining onion and reserve for the gravy. Add the breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, salt, and worcestershire.
- Mix until combined and form into four oval patties about 3/4 inch thick.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meat patties on each side about 2 minutes. Remove patties from the pan onto a plate. They will finish cooking later in the sauce if they're not done.
- Add the onions and mushrooms and cook on medium-high for about 3-4 minutes or until onions are soft and mushrooms are golden brown. Add more olive oil if needed. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Lower the skillet to medium heat and melt the butter in the pan. Sprinkle the flour on top and cook for one minute. Slowly whisk in the beef broth. Add the ketchup, Dijon mustard, and worcestershire. Continue cooking for 4-5 minute or until mixture starts to thicken. Taste gravy and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Add the patties back into the pan with the onion gravy and heat for a few minutes until patties are cooked through. Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice if desired. Store leftover salisbury steak in an airtight container.
