Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 lb ground beef Use lean ground beef for the best texture.
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs Can substitute with panko for extra crunch.
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion Adds moisture and flavor.
  • 1 large egg Acts as a binder.
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce Provides depth of flavor.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season generously.
For the Gravy
  • 1 cup beef broth Use low sodium for better control over saltiness.
  • 1 cup sliced onions For the gravy, sliced into rings.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For browning the patties.
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour For thickening the gravy.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; don’t overwork it!
  2. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick.
Cooking the Patties
  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side until browned. Once done, remove them from the pan and set aside.
Making the Gravy
  1. In the same pan, add sliced onions and cook until they soften.
  2. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for about a minute.
  3. Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the patties to the pan, spoon the gravy over them, and let them simmer for another 5–10 minutes.
  2. Plate your Salisbury steak with gravy on top and enjoy with mashed potatoes or veggies of your choice!

Notes

For best results, allow patties to rest before cooking. Adjust gravy thickness by adding flour or broth as needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container; lasts 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
