Ingredients
Scale
For the Salisbury Steaks
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (for the skillet)
For the Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Suggested Sides
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted broccoli
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and kosher salt until evenly combined to form the steak mixture.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into an oval patty approximately 3/4-inch thick, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and set aside.
- Make the Gravy Base: Lower the heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the same skillet with the drippings. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth and no lumps remain, creating a roux for the gravy.
- Finish the Gravy: Reduce the heat to medium-low and gradually whisk in the beef stock to the roux. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder until fully combined. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer Steaks in Gravy: Nestle the partially cooked steaks back into the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Cover the skillet and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F, ensuring they are fully cooked through and tender.
- Serve: Plate the Salisbury steaks over prepared mashed potatoes and generously spoon the mushroom gravy on top. Serve alongside roasted broccoli for a complete and comforting meal.
Notes
- Ensure patties are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F for food safety.
- Panko breadcrumbs help keep the patties light and tender.
- You can substitute cremini mushrooms with button mushrooms if desired.
- Make mashed potatoes and roast broccoli in advance to save time.
- This recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour alternatives.
