Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (for the skillet)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sides
- Mashed potatoes (for serving)
- Roasted broccoli (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and kosher salt. Mix gently until just combined to keep the patties tender. Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized oval patties.
- Cook the Patties: Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef stock to avoid lumps. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, sliced cremini mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the sauce until it thickens and the mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked patties to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Spoon some gravy over the patties and simmer together for 3-4 minutes to meld flavors and ensure the patties are heated through.
- Serve: Plate the Salisbury steaks topped with mushroom gravy, serving alongside creamy mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli for a complete comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute cremini mushrooms with button or portobello mushrooms if preferred.
- Allow the patties to rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juices before serving.
- For a lower-fat version, use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- Make the gravy ahead of time and reheat gently when ready to serve.
- Adjust seasoning with extra Worcestershire or ketchup to suit your taste.
