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
For Serving
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted broccoli
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into an oval-shaped patty about 3/4-inch thick, ensuring consistent size for even cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook each side for about 3 minutes until a golden crust forms. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning. Remove the patties and set aside on a plate.
- Prepare the Gravy Base: Lower the skillet heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in flour to form a smooth roux without lumps, which will thicken the gravy.
- Add Liquids and Mushrooms: Reduce to medium-low heat and gradually whisk in the beef stock. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder until fully integrated. Add sliced cremini mushrooms and allow the gravy to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer the Steaks in Gravy: Return the partially cooked patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F to ensure the meat is fully cooked through.
- Serve: Place Salisbury steaks over prepared mashed potatoes and generously spoon mushroom gravy on top. Serve with roasted broccoli on the side for a well-rounded, hearty meal.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease but retain flavor and moisture.
- Ensure patties are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Simmer covered to help patties cook through while absorbing mushroom gravy flavors.
- Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure safe doneness.
- Mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli complement the rich flavors and add texture contrast.
