Here’s a simple and tasty way to make Salisbury steaks with mushroom gravy at home! I’ll break it down into the steaks and the gravy.
Ingredients
For the steaks:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp oil (for frying)
For the mushroom gravy:
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Make the steaks:
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Shape the mixture into oval patties (about 4–6, depending on size).
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side). They don’t need to be fully cooked yet—just browned.
2. Make the mushroom gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Slowly add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer until it thickens slightly (about 3–5 minutes).
3. Combine steaks and gravy:
- Return the browned steaks to the skillet with the gravy.
- Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes until steaks are cooked through and gravy is thickened.
4. Serve:
- Serve the Salisbury steaks hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables. Spoon extra mushroom gravy on top!
If you want, I can also give you a faster version in one skillet that’s perfect if you don’t want to wash many dishes.
