Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 g) lean ground beef (90/10)
- 8 oz (226 g) mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
Patty Binding and Seasoning:
- ½ cup (60 g) breadcrumbs
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 small yellow onion (grated)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (for patties)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (for patties)
Cooking and Gravy Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil (for searing)
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter (for mushroom gravy)
- 2 tablespoons (16 g) all-purpose flour (for gravy thickening)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste, for gravy)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (to taste, for gravy)
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend panko breadcrumbs, finely diced yellow onion, whisked egg, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until uniformly combined.
- Gently incorporate ground beef into the breadcrumb mixture, handling the meat delicately to prevent compressing. Form mixture into 4 to 6 oval-shaped patties approximately 3/4 inch (2 centimeters) thick.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place beef patties into the hot skillet, searing each side for 3 to 4 minutes until a rich golden-brown crust develops.
- Remove browned patties and transfer to a clean plate. In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter and add sliced mushrooms, cooking until they release their moisture and turn golden.
- Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the mushrooms, stirring continuously for 1 to 2 minutes to create a smooth roux and eliminate raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour beef broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Allow the gravy to simmer and thicken for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Gently return beef patties to the mushroom gravy, reducing heat to low. Simmer for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, ensuring patties are cooked through and gravy reaches desired consistency.
- Plate creamy garlic mashed potatoes as a base, arranging Salisbury steak patties on top. Generously ladle mushroom and onion gravy over the meat. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Notes
- Sear patties carefully to lock in juices and create delicious caramelized exterior.
- Mix breadcrumbs gently with ground beef to prevent tough, dense meat texture.
- Allow mushroom gravy to simmer slowly, developing rich, deep flavor profiles.
- Opt for fresh parsley as final garnish to add bright, fresh color and subtle herbal notes.
- Choose high-quality ground beef with moderate fat content for maximum tenderness and taste.
