Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned; panko works too)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for gravy)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for gravy)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for richer gravy)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty.
  3. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until well browned. Remove patties to a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp butter. Add sliced onion and mushrooms; cook for 5-7 minutes until soft and golden.
  5. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly pour in beef broth, whisking to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Scrape up browned bits from the pan.
  7. Return patties to skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10-12 minutes, until patties are cooked through (internal temp 160°F).
  8. If desired, stir in heavy cream for extra richness. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  9. Serve hot, spooning mushroom onion gravy over each Salisbury steak. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornstarch instead of flour. For low-carb, substitute almond flour or pork rinds for breadcrumbs. Don’t overmix the meat for tender patties. Use fresh mushrooms and onions for best flavor. Gravy consistency can be adjusted with more broth or simmering uncovered. Patties and gravy can be made ahead and reheated; leftovers store well and flavors deepen overnight.
