Instructions

1. Make the Steaks

• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix, or you’ll end up with tough steaks).
• Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties. Set aside.

2. Sear the Steaks

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside (don’t worry if they’re not fully cooked yet—they’ll finish in the gravy).

3. Make the Gravy

• In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the onion-mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
• Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let the gravy thicken, about 3-5 minutes.

4. Finish the Steaks

• Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through and tender.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Serve the Salisbury steaks over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, spooning plenty of that delicious gravy over the top. Pair with a veggie side for balance—or just dive straight into the carbs and meat party.
