Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy

Recipe Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Salisbury Steak Patties

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix until well combined, then shape the mixture into four oval-shaped patties.

Step 2: Cook the Salisbury Steak

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the Salisbury steak patties.
  2. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Onion Gravy

  1. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and butter. Cook until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  4. Continue cooking until the gravy thickens, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, spooning the onion gravy over the top.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
