Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Salisbury steaks
-
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire, Dijon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Mix gently (don’t overwork or they’ll be tough).
-
Form into 4 oval patties, about ¾-inch thick.
2️⃣ Sear the patties
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Sear patties 4–5 minutes per side until nicely browned.
-
Remove patties from skillet and set aside (they’ll finish cooking later).
3️⃣ Make the mushroom gravy
-
In the same skillet, melt butter.
-
Add mushrooms and cook 5–6 minutes until browned and released their moisture.
-
Add onion and cook 2–3 minutes until soft.
-
Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds.
-
Sprinkle flour over mushrooms; stir and cook 1 minute.
-
Slowly whisk in beef broth.
-
Add Worcestershire sauce.
-
Simmer 5 minutes, stirring, until thickened.
-
Season with salt & pepper. Add cream if using.
4️⃣ Simmer steaks in gravy
-
Return patties to the skillet, spooning gravy over them.
-
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes, until cooked through and tender.
