What Is Salisbury Steak?
Salisbury Steak is simply a ground beef steak covered in a brown mushroom gravy. Think of it like a well-seasoned hamburger steak coated in flavor packed gravy, often with onions, mushrooms, or both like my recipe! It’s an inexpensive option for a steak dinner, if you’re on a budget.
Recipe Ingredients:
This is a quick breakdown of the ingredients you will need. The full recipe and measurements can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Ground Beef Steak:
Lean ground beef. I use either a 90% lean ground beef when I make this recipe. You could even use ground turkey if that’s your thing! Breadcrumbs. You can use either plain, seasoned, or Panko bread crumbs. Just use whatever you have on-hand, that’s the beauty of this easy, forgiving recipe! Onion. For the onion used in the steaks I prefer a very finely dived onion, or even a grated onion. I don’t like large pieces of onion throughout the steak, as there are plenty of onions in the gravy. Dry mustard. If you don’t have dry mustard you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard instead. Worcestershire sauce Salt and pepper Olive oil
Gravy:
Butter. I prefer using salted butter, but you can use salted or unsalted. Onion. I like to use yellow onion in this recipe, or you can omit the onions in the gravy if you have picky eaters. Mushrooms. You can omit the mushrooms of you just don’t like them, just like the onions. I love the mushrooms in this recipe, though. I just use white mushrooms, but you use most varieties here, like portobello, cremini, or shitaki. Also you can use as many or few as you like. I usually add in more than the recipe calls for because I love them! Salt and pepper. Beef Broth. You can also use Beef Stock for a more robust flavor. Worcestershire sauce. Tomato paste (or ketchup). I make it both ways. If I have a tube of tomato paste that I need to use up, I’ll use that instead, but if I don’t, ketchup works too! My mom always used ketchup in her recipe. Cornstarch and water. This will create a slurry, which you use to thicken up your gravy. Make sure to use cold water!
Instructions/How To Make Salisbury Steak:
This is a great recipe to prep in advance for weeknight dinners, or entertaining. The process is very easy, and it’s made with pantry-staple ingredients, most that you probably have in your kitchen right now!
Tips For Success:
Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking. Measure, dice, slice, and chop everything ahead to make the process easy! You can also make your beef patties ahead. I like to do this in the morning so they’re already ready when I’m set to cook! Make sure to brown your patties on both sides. This adds flavor! Don’t worry if they aren’t cooked through when you brown them. They will have more time to cook as they simmer in the gravy! Like I said above you can really make this dish to your own preference, omitting the mushrooms, onions, or both if that is your preference.
