Instructions
Step 1: Make the Salisbury Steaks
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until just combined.
- Shape Patties: Form the beef mixture into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Gravy
- Make a Roux: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, whisking continuously for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Broth: Gradually pour in beef broth while whisking, ensuring there are no lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Simmer Patties: Return the beef patties to the skillet, spooning some gravy over them. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the patties to cook through and the gravy to thicken.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- Boil Potatoes and Garlic: In a large pot, add potatoes and garlic cloves. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Mash and Mix: Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return to the pot. Add milk and butter, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Cook the Corn
- Heat and Season: In a saucepan over medium heat, add butter and corn. Stir until the butter is melted and the corn is heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Serve
- Plate each Salisbury steak with a generous helping of garlic mashed potatoes, smothered in gravy, and a side of buttered corn. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Tips for Success
- Use 80/20 Ground Beef: This fat ratio ensures your patties stay juicy and flavorful.
- Don’t Overwork the Meat: Mixing too much can make the patties tough. Gently combine just until everything sticks together.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Try adding a bit of fresh thyme or parsley to the gravy for extra flavor.
