Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground beef (80/20)
• 12 pieces Saltine crackers
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
• 8 oz Baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 cups Low-sodium beef broth
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, crumble the saltine crackers until they resemble coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Add the ground beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well with your hands until fully combined.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties about ¾-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 6

Add the sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and golden.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add it to the skillet and stir until the gravy begins to thicken.

Step 10

Return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Spoon some gravy over the top of each patty.

Step 11

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked and the flavors meld together.

Step 12

Serve hot with mashed potatoes or egg noodles, generously topped with onion mushroom gravy.
