Salisbury Steak
Description
This Salisbury Steak recipe assembles ground beef with grated onion, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings into shaped oval patties. The mixture is lightly combined to keep the patties tender and avoid toughness, then seared in butter and olive oil until cooked through. The scoring technique helps portion the meat evenly.
The pan is then used to cook onions and mushrooms before adding beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, creating a rich mushroom and onion gravy with a balance of umami, acidity, and depth. A cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce to finish.
Salisbury steak is typically served with the mushroom gravy poured over the patties, making a filling meal that pairs well with mashed potatoes or vegetables. This recipe is suitable for preparing in bulk and freezing properly. Cooling before freezing and reheating in the oven helps maintain texture and flavor. Using ground beef with 85/15 or 90/10 fat content yields the best results.
Chilling the patties before cooking helps them hold shape. Avoid over-mixing the meat to prevent toughness.
Ingredients
Patties
- 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef lean
- 1/2 large yellow onion
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs plain or Italian
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
Fats for the skillet
- 2 Tbsp butter divided
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Mushroom + onion gravy
- 1 medium yellow onion halved and thinly sliced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced, or baby Bella mushrooms
- 2 cups beef broth reduced sodium, or stock
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce reduced sodium is preferred
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Slurry
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 Tbsp water cold
Instructions
Make patties
- Add breadcrumbs to a large mixing bowl. Grate onion over the bowl and stir grated onion into the breadcrumbs. There will likely be some onion "juice" that goes into the bowl as well, and that's good. It will add moisture as well as flavor.
- Add remaining patty ingredients and use hands to mix until just combined.
- Use the side of your hand to lightly score the meat in half. Then score each half into 3 sections. Now you have 6 roughly equally sized sections. Scoop out the meat in each section and form into oval shaped patties.
- Heat 1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil in a large skillet over MED HIGH heat. Once hot, add patties and sear about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer patties to a plate and keep warm.
Make gravy
- Reduce skillet heat to MED and add 1 Tbsp butter. Add sliced onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook another 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Add tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, salt and pepper and whisk or stir to combine well.
- In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water and whisk until smooth. Whisk mixture into the beef gravy and simmer until thickened to your liking, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add patties back to the skillet and spoon gravy over the top of the patties. Cook another minute or two, until everything is heated through.
Serve
- Serve patties hot, over mashed potatoes or noodles if you like, with a generous spoonful or two of gravy over the top, sprinkled with minced fresh parsley (if desired).
Notes
- Freeze cooked Salisbury steak in airtight containers for up to 3 months; thaw overnight before reheating at 350°F for 30-40 minutes.
- Do not over-mix the meat mixture, which can make patties tough.
- If patties fall apart during cooking, chill for about 30 minutes next time to help them hold shape.
- Use ground beef with 85/15 or 90/10 fat content for optimal texture and flavor.
