👨🍳 Instructions
Make the patties
In a bowl mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Form patties
Shape into 4–5 oval patties (classic Salisbury steak shape).
Brown the steaks
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook patties about 4–5 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook the onions & mushrooms
In the same skillet add oil/butter, onions, and mushrooms. Cook 4–5 minutes until soft.
Make the gravy
Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Stir and bring to a simmer.
Thicken the gravy
Mix flour with water to make a slurry. Pour into the skillet and stir until the gravy thickens.
Simmer the steaks
Return patties to the skillet. Cover and simmer 10–15 minutes until cooked through and coated in the rich gravy.
🍽️ Serve With
Creamy mashed potatoes

✅ Tip: The longer the patties simmer in the gravy, the more tender and flavorful they become.
