Classic Salisbury Steak made with lean ground beef, seasoned with onions and Worcestershire sauce, seared to perfection, and simmered in a rich homemade gravy. A comforting and hearty dish perfect for serving over mashed potatoes or rice.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Gravy

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix the Patty Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
  2. Shape Patties: Form the mixture into oval-shaped patties about 1-inch thick, ensuring they hold together well for searing.
  3. Sear the Patties: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and sear them for about 4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  4. Prepare the Roux: Remove the patties and set aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns lightly browned to form a roux.
  5. Make the Gravy and Simmer: Gradually whisk in the beef broth and soy sauce into the roux until smooth. Return the patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy over them, and simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes until the patties are cooked through and the gravy thickens.
  6. Serve: Serve the Salisbury steak hot, topped with the rich gravy, ideally over creamy mashed potatoes or steamed rice for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep the patties tender.
  • Using lean ground beef helps reduce excess fat while still providing flavor.
  • Simmering the patties in gravy ensures they stay moist and flavorful.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs and flour with gluten-free alternatives.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
