Ingredients
  

Beef Patties
  • 1 lb ground beef Look for 80% lean to 20% fat for best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg Helps bind the patties.
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season generously.
Mushroom Gravy
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms Ensure they are cooked until softened.
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Adds depth of flavor.
  • 2 tbsp flour Sprinkle over cooked mushrooms for thickening.
  • 2 tbsp butter For sautéing the patties.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Divide the mixture and shape it into 4 equal-sized patties.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the patties to the skillet.
  2. Cook each patty until browned on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
Making the Gravy
  1. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked mushrooms and stir well, cooking for about 1 minute.
  3. Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to stir until the sauce is smooth.
Finishing Touches
  1. Return the browned patties to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Cover and let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Plate the Salisbury steak and ladle the mushroom gravy generously over the top.
