Here’s a simple, hearty recipe for Ultimate Skillet Salisbury Steak that’s rich, comforting, and perfect for a weeknight dinner:
Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the patties:
1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the gravy:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, but adds depth)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional garnish:
Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Make the patties:
In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Form into 4 evenly sized oval patties.
Cook the patties:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil.
Brown patties on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Make the gravy:
In the same skillet, melt butter.
Whisk in flour to make a roux, cooking 1–2 minutes until golden.
Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine and simmer:
Return patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy over them.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes to finish cooking and let flavors meld.
Serve:
Spoon extra gravy over the patties.
Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed veggies.
This skillet version keeps everything in one pan, so cleanup is easy and the patties soak up all that delicious gravy. 😋
If you want, I can also give you a “super quick 20-minute” version that’s even faster but just as tasty. Do you want me to do that?
