Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Seasoned beef patties smothered in rich mushroom-and-onion gravy.

Mix the patties only until they come together — overworking the beef is what makes them dense.
Ingredients
- 1½ lb ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for the gravy)
- ½ tsp thyme
- Salt and black pepper, for the gravy
Method
- 1
Combine the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, Worcestershire, Dijon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined and shape into four oval patties.
- 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the patties about 3–4 minutes per side, then remove.
- 3
Melt the butter in the same skillet. Cook the mushrooms and sliced onions 6–8 minutes until browned.
- 4
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring, then add the Worcestershire and thyme.
- 5
Return the patties to the skillet. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 12–15 minutes, until cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
- 6
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, spooning the mushroom-onion gravy generously over the top.
