Make classic, comforting Salisbury Steak with juicy ground beef patties smothered in a rich mushroom and onion gravy. This simple skillet recipe is perfect for a quick, hearty weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 small onion, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, minced onion, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal oval-shaped patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the dried thyme and Dijon mustard. Let the gravy thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
  7. Return the browned beef patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through.
  8. Serve the Salisbury steaks immediately, spooning the rich mushroom gravy over the top. This pairs well with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Notes

  • For extra flavor in the patties, substitute half of the breadcrumbs with crushed saltine crackers.
  • If you prefer a smoother gravy, strain the gravy after simmering to remove the mushroom pieces.
  • You can make this recipe ahead by preparing the patties and gravy separately; store them in the refrigerator and reheat slowly on the stovetop.
