Easy Salisbury Steak is a classic comfort food dish featuring seasoned ground beef patties simmered in a rich mushroom and onion gravy. It’s a hearty and flavorful meal that’s perfect for weeknights or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (plus extra sliced for gravy)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour
  • 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties about ½ inch thick.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch (or flour) with water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the skillet and cook until the gravy thickens.
  7. Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them in the gravy.
  8. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the patties are cooked through and flavors meld.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.

Notes

Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.Add red wine to the gravy for extra depth.Include chopped bell peppers or celery for texture.Substitute beef broth with vegetable or mushroom broth for variation.Add hot sauce or chili flakes for a spicier flavor.Mushrooms are optional—feel free to omit or replace with more onions.
