Ingredients:
For the Salisbury Steaks:
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean is ideal)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably plain)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
For the Salisbury Steaks:
- Prepare the patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined, but be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook the patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
For the Onion Gravy:
- Sauté the onions: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized.
- Make the gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook for about 1 minute to form a roux (a paste). Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens.
- Combine the steaks and gravy: Return the cooked Salisbury steaks to the skillet, nestling them in the gravy. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Spoon the onion gravy over the Salisbury steaks and serve hot. This dish is great with mashed potatoes, rice, or a simple green vegetable like peas or green beans.
Enjoy your delicious Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy! It’s a meal that’s sure to warm you up and satisfy your cravings.
