🛒 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
For the steaks:
1 lb (450 g) ground beef
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt & black pepper
For the onion gravy:
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter (or oil)
1 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: splash of cream for extra richness
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Make the patties
In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Form into oval-shaped patties (classic Salisbury Steak shape).
2️⃣ Sear the steaks
Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil.
Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside (they’ll finish cooking in the gravy).
3️⃣ Make the onion gravy
In the same pan, add butter and sliced onions.
Cook 6–8 minutes until soft and golden.
Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1 minute.
Slowly pour in beef broth + Worcestershire, stirring until smooth and thickened.
4️⃣ Simmer everything together
Return patties to the pan.
Spoon gravy over them, cover, and simmer 8–10 minutes until cooked through and juicy.

🔥 Pro Tips
Want it extra juicy? Mix in 1 tbsp mayo or sour cream to the beef.
Like mushroom gravy? Add sliced mushrooms with the onions.
No breadcrumbs? Crushed crackers or a slice of soaked bread work great.
If you want, I can give you a one-pan lazy version, an air fryer version, or a budget meal-prep version for the week 😏
