Ingredients
Scale
For the Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
For the Gravy
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup sliced cremini or white mushrooms
- 1 cup thinly sliced yellow onions
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour/cornstarch for gluten-free option)
- 2 cups beef broth
- Pinch of thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix until just combined to avoid dense patties. Shape into 4 equal oval patties and set aside.
- Brown the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: Add butter to the skillet and melt. Toss in sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking until they are golden and soft, about 6-8 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
- Make the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring constantly to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in beef broth, blending smoothly as the gravy thickens and bubbles.
- Simmer Patties in Gravy: Return browned patties to the pan, nestling them in the mushroom onion gravy. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to let flavors meld and patties cook through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once thickened and bubbling, taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve your Mushroom Onion Salisbury Steak hot, spooning plenty of the mushroom onion gravy over each patty.
Notes
- Don’t overwork the beef: Mixing too much can cause tough patties; combine ingredients gently.
- Brown patties well: A good sear locks in juices and adds flavor to the gravy.
- Use fresh mushrooms: Avoid canned for the best texture and taste in the sauce.
- Slow simmer is key: Letting the patties cook gently in the gravy ensures they stay tender.
- Rest before serving: Letting the dish sit for a few minutes helps flavors deepen and gravy thicken.
