Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy
Ingredients
For the Salisbury Steak:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Salisbury Steaks:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4-6 oval patties.
- Cook the Salisbury Steaks:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. (They do not need to be fully cooked through at this stage.)
- Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, and stir to combine.
- Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the Salisbury steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy.
- Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve the Salisbury steaks hot with the onion gravy spooned over the top.
Serving Suggestions
- Mashed Potatoes: A classic side that pairs perfectly with the rich gravy.
- Steamed Vegetables: Such as green beans, carrots, or peas to add some color and nutrition to the meal.
- Buttered Noodles: Another traditional side that complements the dish well.
