Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Description
This recipe for Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy features oval beef patties formed from ground chuck blended with milk-soaked Italian breadcrumbs, grated onion and garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, and seasonings. The patties are pan-seared to develop a browned crust.
The accompanying mushroom gravy is prepared in the same pan using sliced mushrooms and onions sautéed until browned, then deglazed with dry red wine to lift flavorful browned bits. A roux of butter and flour thickens the sauce which is enriched by beef stock, Dijon mustard, fresh thyme leaves, and Worcestershire sauce. Salt and pepper are adjusted to balance flavors.
The combination results in tender, flavorful beef patties served in a smooth, earthy gravy. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
For the most beefy flavor, homemade beef stock is preferred; store-bought beef base provides a stronger taste than boxed stock. Leftovers keep in the fridge up to three days and reheat well either on the stovetop or microwave.
Ingredients
For the steaks
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup onion grated
- 4 cloves garlic grated
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large egg
For the mushroom gravy
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound mushrooms sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1/2 cup red wine dry
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef stock low-sodium
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons thyme fresh leaves
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
For the steaks
- Combine the breadcrumbs, milk, and grated onion in a large bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and gently mix together. Form 4 equal-sized oval patties approximately 1-inch thick.
Sear the steaks and make the gravy
- Heat a large cast-iron or heavy skillet to medium heat. Add the olive oil and sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side or until well browned on both sides. Remove the patties to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add the onions and mushrooms to the pan along with a pinch of salt. Saute until the mushrooms release their water then let them brown for a few minutes.
- Add the wine to the pan and turn the heat to high. With a wooden spoon scrape up all of the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the wine almost entirely evaporates (2-3 minutes) then turn the heat down to medium.
- Add the butter to the pan. Once it melts add the flour and cook for 2 minutes or until golden.
- Slowly pour the stock into the pan while whisking. Turn the heat to medium-high and whisk until the gravy is smooth. Mix in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme then turn the heat down to a simmer.
- Add the steaks to the pan and spoon the gravy on top of them. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, covered, flipping at halfway point. Once the steaks are cooked through, test the gravy and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
- Homemade beef stock is recommended for a richer, more intense flavor in the gravy.
- If using store-bought stock, choose beef base (such as Better than Bouillon) over boxed stock to enhance taste.
- Leftover Salisbury steak with gravy can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
