Make this easy Salisbury steak recipe for a comforting, homestyle ground beef dinner. Tender beef patties smothered in a rich mushroom gravy deliver classic flavor quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion (for gravy)
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1/2 cup chopped onion in a bowl. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal oval patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the beef patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until nicely seared. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chopped onion and the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring until the gravy thickens slightly.
  7. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Taste the gravy and add salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Return the beef patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and juicy.
  9. Serve your Salisbury steak immediately, spooning plenty of the rich mushroom gravy over the top. This is a great ground beef dinner idea served with mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can use a mix of ground beef and ground pork for the patties.
  • If you prefer a quicker gravy, use canned cream of mushroom soup instead of making a roux with flour and broth.
  • This recipe works well as a crock pot Salisbury steak; cook on low for 4-6 hours after searing the patties.
