Ingredients
Scale
For the Salisbury Steak Patties
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For Cooking and Gravy
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (for the skillet)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted broccoli
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and kosher salt. Mix everything together thoroughly until well blended. Shape the mixture into four oval-shaped patties, ensuring they are evenly sized.
- Brown the Patties: Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until the mixture is smooth and forms a roux. Gradually pour in the beef stock while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming, creating a smooth gravy base.
- Add Flavor and Mushrooms: Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and sliced cremini mushrooms into the gravy. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes, so the flavors combine and the mushrooms soften.
- Simmer the Patties in Gravy: Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 10 minutes over low to medium heat, ensuring the patties are fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
- Serve: Plate the Salisbury steak patties over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. Spoon generous amounts of the mushroom gravy over the top and serve with roasted broccoli on the side for a complete, hearty meal.
Notes
- Ensure ground beef is lean to avoid excess grease while cooking.
- Panko breadcrumbs help keep the patties tender and light.
- Use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safety.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute panko breadcrumbs and flour with gluten-free alternatives.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
