  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Description

Salisbury Steak with Brown Gravy is a classic comfort food featuring juicy beef patties smothered in a rich, flavorful gravy. Perfect with mashed potatoes or noodles for a hearty meal.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Patties:

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

For the Gravy:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form the Patties: Shape the mixture into oval patties, slightly larger than a standard burger patty.
  3. Sear the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter, then stir in flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce.
  6. Simmer the Patties: Return the patties to the skillet, spooning gravy over them. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.

Notes

  • Mushroom Gravy: Add sautéed mushrooms for extra umami.
  • Turkey or Chicken Alternative: Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken.
  • Low-Carb Option: Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs; serve with cauliflower mash.
  • Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the gravy.
