👩🍳 Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions
- Mix the patties: In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, A1 sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix with your hands (gloves optional) until just combined.
- Shape: Form the mixture into 4 round patties, about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
- Sear the patties: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook for 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and cover to keep warm.
- Start the gravy: If there’s more than 1 tablespoon of grease left in the pan, spoon out the excess. Don’t clean the skillet — those drippings are gold! 🥩✨
- Sauté onions: Add 3 tablespoons butter and sliced onions. Cook for 5 minutes until translucent, scraping up the flavorful bits from the pan.
- Add flour: Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes until the mixture is lightly golden and smells nutty.
- Pour in broth: Slowly whisk in the beef broth. Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
- Add mushrooms and patties: Stir in mushrooms and return the cooked patties to the pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 7–10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and gravy is thick.
- Serve: Plate your Salisbury Steak with mashed potatoes, rice, or veggies. Don’t forget crusty bread to mop up that delicious gravy! 🥖🍄
