What Is Salisbury Steak?

Salisbury steak is an American dish that consists of ground beef and seasonings (similar to a meatloaf), that’s shaped into a steak-like patty then seared on a stove top and finished cooking in a brown mushroom gravy. It’s often times considered a poor man’s steak, but there’s nothing poor about the rich flavors in this recipe!

Salisbury Steak Ingredients:

Ground Beef – I like to use a lean ground beef
Breadcrumbs – Italian breadcrumbs add extra flavor
Ketchup
Worcestershire Sauce
Seasonings – onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper
Egg – to bind it together

Brown Mushroom Gravy Sauce Ingredients:

Butter
Onions
Garlic
Cremini or Baby Bella Mushrooms – buying pre-sliced will cut down on prep time
Flour
Beef Broth
Worcestershire Sauce
Salt and Pepper

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.

Brown Mushroom Gravy for Salisbury Steak

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.
