Ingredients
  

For the patties
  • 1 lb Ground beef Feel free to mix in some ground pork for added flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Bread crumbs Panko works really well for extra crispiness.
  • 1 small Onion, finely chopped Shallots are a lovely alternative.
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Adds depth; soy sauce can be a substitute if needed.
  • 1 large Egg Helps bind the mixture; flaxseed meal works in vegan versions.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
For the gravy
  • 2 cups Beef broth Low-sodium is often a good choice for a lighter option.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Or olive oil to keep it more heart-healthy.
  • 2 tbsp Flour Helps thicken the gravy.
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder Add an extra layer of flavor.
  • 1 tsp Onion powder Add an extra layer of flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into oval patties, about 1 inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once it’s melted and bubbling, place the patties in the skillet.
  2. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until nicely browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  3. Transfer the patties to a plate and keep warm. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and sprinkle in the flour; stir for about a minute to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth while scraping up any brown bits. Stir until thickened, around 3-5 minutes.
  5. Optionally, add a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor. Return the patties to the gravy and simmer for 10 more minutes.

Notes

Serve Salisbury steak over creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy egg noodles, with a side of green beans or corn. Crusty bread is perfect for mopping up leftover gravy.
