A comforting and easy homemade Salisbury steak recipe featuring juicy beef patties smothered in rich, earthy mushroom gravy. Perfect for cozy dinners and quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup (60 g) Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces (225 g) baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups (475 ml) low-sodium beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly without overmixing (about 5 minutes).
  2. Shape the mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties, about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties for about 4 minutes per side until browned. Remove patties and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté sliced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  5. Add butter to mushrooms and melt. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  6. Slowly whisk in beef broth, scraping browned bits from the pan. Add thyme if using. Simmer for 5 minutes until gravy thickens.
  7. Return patties to the skillet, nestle into gravy, cover, and simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes until patties are cooked through.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If gravy is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen.
  9. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or preferred sides.

Notes

Do not overmix the beef mixture to keep patties tender. Sear patties without crowding the pan for a good crust. Cook flour in butter to remove raw taste before adding broth. Adjust gravy thickness by adding flour or cornstarch slurry if needed. Variations include using almond flour for low-carb or gluten-free diets, swapping beef for plant-based meat for vegetarian option, or adding red wine for richer gravy.
