Make this classic comfort food at home. You get juicy ground beef patties smothered in a savory mushroom and onion gravy. This recipe is simple and perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal oval-shaped patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Gradually whisk in the beef broth until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the Dijon mustard and dried thyme. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  7. Return the beef patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the patties simmer in the gravy for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  8. Serve the Salisbury steak immediately, spooning the rich mushroom gravy over the top. This pairs well with mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, brown the patties first, then place them in the slow cooker. Cook the gravy ingredients separately (or skip the flour/skillet step and mix broth, mustard, thyme, sautéed onions/mushrooms directly in the slow cooker). Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
  • You can substitute cubed steak for the ground beef mixture if you prefer a different texture, though cooking time will vary.
  • Use good quality beef broth for the best flavor in your gravy.
