Ingredients

For the Steaks

  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped and divided (1/4 cup finely chopped for steaks, remainder for gravy)
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon oil, for frying

For the Gravy

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion (from the leftover after using 1/4 cup for steaks)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Parsley, to garnish
  • Creamy mashed potatoes, to serve

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the mushrooms and onion, reserving 1/4 cup finely chopped onion for the steaks and chopping the rest finely for the gravy.
  2. Make the Steaks: In a large bowl, combine the reserved 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped mushrooms, ground beef, egg, panko breadcrumbs, tomato paste, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke (if using), kosher salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Shape the Patties: Form the mixture into six oval-shaped patties, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
  4. Cook the Steaks: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook each side for about 2 minutes until nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
  5. Prepare the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms and the chopped onions for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  6. Make the Gravy Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth and flour until smooth. Gradually pour this mixture into the skillet while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Stir in the whole grain mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then cook for 2 minutes until the gravy begins to simmer and thicken.
  7. Finish Cooking the Steaks: Return the browned patties to the skillet with the gravy. Simmer everything together for 5 minutes until the patties are cooked through and the gravy is thick and rich.
  8. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve the Salisbury steak hot alongside creamy mashed potatoes for a classic and hearty meal.

Notes

  • Liquid smoke is optional but adds a nice smoky flavor to the patties.
  • Ensure the patties are not too thick to cook evenly in the pan.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for better texture in the steaks.
  • The gravy can be adjusted in thickness by adding more or less flour to the broth mixture.
  • Serve immediately with mashed potatoes for best flavor and texture.
