Ingredients

To make the Salisbury steak patties, you'll need the following ingredients:

1 ½ lb Ground beef
½ cup Breadcrumbs
¼ cup Finely chopped onion
1 large Egg beaten
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

For the mushroom gravy:

8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup Unsalted butter
¼ cup All-purpose flour
2 cups Beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step-by-step instructions for making Salisbury steak:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the beef mixture into oval-shaped patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make sure the patties are compacted but not overworked, as this can toughen the meat.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Transfer the patties to a plate and set aside.

Step-by-step instructions for making mushroom gravy:

In the same skillet used to cook the patties, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Slowly pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy has thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Tips for cooking the perfect Salisbury steak

Use lean ground beef for a healthier option, or opt for a higher fat content for a juicier and more flavorful result.
Don't overmix the beef mixture when forming the patties to avoid a tough texture. Gently shape them into oval shapes and handle them as little as possible.
Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the patties to ensure a nice sear and prevent sticking.
Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure a tender and juicy steak.
