Instructions
1. Prepare the Salisbury Steak Patties:
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overwork the mixture.
Shape into 4-6 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Cook the Patties:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with a bit of oil or butter.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the Mushroom Gravy:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the mushrooms and garlic, cooking for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat.
Gradually add the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
4. Simmer and Finish the Dish:
Return the cooked patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, turning the patties occasionally to ensure they are well-coated in the sauce.
5. Serve:
Plate the Salisbury steak over a bed of mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
Spoon the mushroom gravy generously over the top and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
