Ingredients
For the Salisbury Steaks:
1 ½ pounds ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire-style sauce (non-alcoholic)
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Onion Gravy:
2 tbsp butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, garlic, Worcestershire-style sauce, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until just combined.
Shape into 4–5 oval patties and flatten slightly.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Sear patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add chopped onions and cook 5–6 minutes until softened and golden.
Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and soy sauce. Simmer until thickened.
Return patties to the skillet, cover with gravy, and simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles and your favorite green vegetable.
Notes
Use 85% lean beef for the best balance of flavor and tenderness.
Want extra flavor? Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the gravy.
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days — great for meal prep.
