Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval-shaped patties about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the beef patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. (They don't need to be fully cooked yet as they'll finish cooking in the gravy.) Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until softened and lightly browned.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add the ketchup and Dijon mustard, and stir until the gravy is smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Return the beef patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked and the gravy has thickened.

Step 8

Taste the gravy and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, topped with the mushroom and onion gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and pair with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles for a complete meal.
