How To Make Salisbury Steak

Start by combining the ingredients for the steaks in a bowl and mixing together until combined.
Shape the patties into an oval shaped patty, about 3/4″ thick.
Sear the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat until they get a nice golden crust on the outside. The patties will not be cooked through at this time, but rather finished heating through in the gravy.

To the same pan that you seared the steaks in, add in sliced onions and cook until softened and translucent. Add in the garlic and mushrooms and cook until browned.
Toss in some butter and then sprinkle in the flour and cook until the mixture is thick, about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth until the gravy is thick and creamy. Season with the Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper.

At this point you’ll add the steaks back into the pan and nestle them right into the gravy. Cover the pan with the lid and let the gravy simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through.
