Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 large yellow onions (thinly sliced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese (optional, shredded for garnish)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the beef patties to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the sliced onions and sauté them for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until deeply caramelized. Be patient, as this step is key to achieving a rich flavor.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a steady simmer, stirring well to create a smooth sauce.

Step 8

Return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy. Cover and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle shredded Gruyère cheese over the patties during the last 5 minutes of cooking and cover to let it melt.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered egg noodles for a complete meal.
