Salisbury Steak

This is my go-to salisbury steak recipe. (follow link for unaltered recipe) It’s quick and easy, and it’s easy to upgrade with sides if you want to make it fancier. I follow it pretty directly, except after cooking the beef patties, I start first with the mushrooms instead of the onions. I also cook my mushrooms in marsala wine 👌

“Steak” Patty Ingredients:

• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp each: onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 large egg

Mushroom Gravy:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 8 oz. sliced brown mushrooms
• 3 tbsp all purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup marsala wine (my addition to the original recipe)
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• salt and pepper to taste

For the Steaks:

1. Combine the ingredients for the steaks in a bowl and mix completely. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts, then shape the meat into oval size patties, about 3/4″ thick.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in 1 tbsp oil in pan. Sear the meat patties on each side for about 3 minutes, until a nice golden brown crust is formed on each side. (NOTE – the patties will not be cooked through at this point). Remove from skillet and set aside.

For the Mushroom Gravy:

1. In the same skillet, cook the mushrooms down in butter and marsala wine. Toss in the onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Finally stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Melt the 2 tbsp of butter into the onions and mushrooms then stir in the flour. Cook until the mixture is thick, about 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium low and gradually stir in the beef broth, until the mixture becomes smooth. Season with the Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
4. Return steak patties to the pan and nestle into the gravy. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, until the internal temperature of the steak patties reaches 160 degrees F.
5. Serve salisbury steak warm over mashed potatoes with the mushroom gravy spooned over top. Enjoy!
