Ingredients
Scale
For the Patties
- 1 pound ground beef, 90% lean
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
For the Mushroom Gravy
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for sautéing
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely diced onion, minced garlic, panko bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, sea salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, ketchup, milk, and Dijon mustard. Mix everything well until fully incorporated. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and gently shape each into a patty.
- Cook patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook them until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add the finely diced yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and the tablespoon of unsalted butter, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sliced brown mushrooms and continue to cook until they are browned and tender, about 5-6 minutes. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Make gravy: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, ketchup, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and vegetables. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine and serve: Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spoon the mushroom gravy over them, and allow them to heat through together for 2-3 minutes. Serve the Salisbury steaks hot with the mushroom gravy spooned generously on top. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute panko bread crumbs with gluten-free bread crumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and achieve the best texture.
- Adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy enhances its depth of flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave to maintain moisture.
