This Salisbury Steak is such a satisfying dinner. I love hamburger steaks, but when you smother them in a rich mushroom gravy, they go from great to irresistible. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or whatever you like.

About This Recipe
Salisbury steak lovers, look no further! This is THE BEST Salisbury steak you will ever try. The beef patties come out beautifully juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. This recipe is one of my favorite ones on my blog ๐
I'm not kidding when I say this is the best Salisbury steak recipe. I've made it for tons of friends and family over the years, and it always gets rave reviews. I've even joked to my wife about opening a food truck that sells just these.
But anyway, running a food truck is hard work, so I'll just share the recipe with you guys today. There is a laundry list of ingredients, but the actual process to make the patties and gravy is very straightforward. If you're worried about this recipe being complicated, don't be. I was able to make this in under one hour, and that included taking pictures and setting up my camera.
Key Ingredients
For the patties:
- Lean ground beef: I prefer lean, or even extra-lean, ground beef.
- Breadcrumbs: I used panko breadcrumbs. These give the hamburger steaks a more tender texture.
- Onions & garlic: Try to mince these as finely as possible. You can even blend them in a food processor.
- Egg: To help bind the ingredients together.
- Seasonings: Ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
For the gravy:
- Onions and garlic: For rich, savory depth.
- Olive oil: For sautรฉing the onions and garlic
- Mushrooms: I used white button mushrooms.
- Butter: For extra richness.
- Flour: To thicken the gravy.
- Beef broth: I mixed Better Than Bouillon roasted beef base with water.
Instructions
STEP 1: Combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl. Let this rest for 5 minutes.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, combine the rest of the hamburger steak ingredients. Add the soaked breadcrumbs and mix until thoroughly combined.
STEP 3: Shape the meat mixture into 4 patties.
STEP 4: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove to a plate, leaving the fat/oil behind.
STEP 5: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the onions and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes until softened.
STEP 6: Add the mushrooms, increase the heat to high, and saute for 5 minutes until the mushrooms have reduced in size and turned brown.
STEP 7: Add the butter and flour. Mix until combined.
STEP 8: Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly. Add the Worcestershire sauce. Let this bubble for a few minutes.
STEP 9: Add the hamburger steaks back to the pan and simmer until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Enjoy!
