🥩 Salisbury Steak
Salisbury steak is a classic comfort food made from ground beef patties cooked in a rich brown gravy. Despite the name, it’s not actually steak—it’s more like a seasoned hamburger patty. Often served with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or rice, it’s hearty, flavorful, and very filling.
🍽️ Ingredients
For the patties:
- 500g ground beef (80–85% lean)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
For the gravy:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 1 cup mushrooms (optional)
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- 1 tbsp ketchup or Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
👩‍🍳 Instructions
- Make the patties: Mix beef, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Shape into oval patties.
- Brown patties: Heat oil in a skillet and cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan.
- Cook gravy: In the same pan, sauté onions and mushrooms. Add butter and flour, cook 1–2 minutes. Slowly pour in beef broth, stir until smooth.
- Season gravy: Add ketchup, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer patties: Return patties to the pan, cover, and simmer 10–15 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve hot: With mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
🌟 Tips
- Don’t overmix the patties—keeps them tender.
- Deglaze the pan with broth or a little wine to capture all the browned flavor.
- Add a splash of cream or butter at the end of the gravy for a silky finish.
- Can be made with turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
