How to Make Salisbury Steak with Gravy
Step 1: Prepare the Steaks
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, diced onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 oval-shaped patties.
Step 2: Cook the Steaks
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned. (They don’t need to be fully cooked yet—they’ll finish cooking in the gravy.)
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter, then add sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Bring to a simmer.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk it into the gravy until it thickens.
Step 4: Simmer the Steaks
- Return the Salisbury steaks to the skillet, spoon some gravy over the top, and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, until cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
- Serve the steaks hot, smothered in gravy, with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered egg noodles.
