Ingredients

Scale

Salisbury Steak Patties

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 12 tablespoons oil or butter for cooking

Mushroom & Onion Gravy

  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for sautéing

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  • 2 lbs Russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salisbury Steak Patties: In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Shape the mixture into even oval patties about 1/2-inch thick. Avoid overmixing to keep patties tender.
  2. Start Cooking the Patties: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until a deep golden crust forms. Remove patties from skillet and set aside, leaving drippings for the gravy.
  3. Make the Mushroom & Onion Gravy: Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onions to the skillet with drippings. Sauté for 7-8 minutes until caramelized. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat; cook 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping the pan to dissolve browned bits. Simmer until gravy thickens to a silky consistency.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom and onion gravy. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes to finish cooking and blend flavors.
  5. Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes: While patties cook, boil peeled and chopped potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and mash with softened butter, minced garlic, warm milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Keep warm until serving.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef to keep patties juicy without excess fat.
  • Mix meat ingredients just until combined to avoid tough patties.
  • Brown patties well to develop rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Simmer gravy and patties gently on low heat for tender steak and thick gravy.
  • Use warm milk in mashed potatoes for creamy texture without gumminess.
