Ingredients
For the Steaks
- 1 lb ground beef
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs plain
- 1 egg large
- 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 Tablespoons mustard coarse stone ground
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (may substitute coconut aminos)
- 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar firmly packed (may substitute coconut sugar)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
For Cooking
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Gravy
- 2 Tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 cup yellow onion 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups mushroom optional, I use baby bella, sliced
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups beef broth see note
Instructions
For the Steaks
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients from the “Steaks” section and use your hands to mix all the ingredients together until well-combined – don’t over-mix or turn the meat into paste.
- Form the mixture into four steaks/oblong patties about ½” thick (I often make a small indent in the center to help the centers cook evenly). Set aside.
- Add oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once oil is shimmering, sear the steaks in the pan, cooking until well- browned on each side. Remove to a plate and rest while you prepare the gravy. Reduce pan heat to medium (do not clean it out, immediately start making your gravy).
Cup of Yum
Gravy
- Add butter to the skillet and scrape the pan as it melts.
- Once melted, add onion and cook until softened.
- Add mushrooms and cook until golden.
- Sprinkle pan with flour and cook, stirring, until flour is completely absorbed, then cook another 30 seconds (to lightly toast the flour).
- Add tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder and stir well, cooking at least 1 minute until tomato paste loses its bright red color.
- While stirring, slowly drizzle in beef broth until ingredients are combined (make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan!).
- Return salisbury steaks to the pan and nestle into the gravy. Allow to cook until steaks are cooked through (no longer pink in the middle/160F) and gravy is thickened.
Notes
- Use 2 cups of beef broth for a large amount of gravy; reduce by ½ cup if preferred.
- The dish freezes well; store airtight in the freezer for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
