Make this easy Salisbury steak for a comforting, quick ground beef dinner. Tender beef patties smothered in rich mushroom gravy bring classic American diner food flavor to your weeknight table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, gently mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal oval-shaped patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove patties from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Add the Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring until it thickens slightly.
  7. Return the beef patties to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the gravy is rich.
  8. Serve the Salisbury steak immediately, spooning the savory gravy over the top. This is a perfect comfort food dinner served with mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For an even richer gravy, use beef broth mixed with a teaspoon of instant onion soup mix.
  • If you prefer an onion-only gravy, skip the mushrooms and use one whole medium onion, sliced, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder added to the patty mix.
  • You can make these patties ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to one day before cooking.
