Salibury Steak with Onion Gravy

Tried this new recipe for Salisbury steak. I’ve made it before using another recipe from allrecipes.com.  Just remember to season the gravy with some salt and pepper. I was able to make 10 smaller patties with this recipe.

Old Fashion Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy (Author: Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan)

Ingredients

·      1 pound ground beef

·      1/3 cup bread crumbs

·      2 teaspoons ketchup

·      1 teaspoon mustard

·      1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

·      1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

·      1/2 teaspoon onion powder - optional, use if not doing onion in gravy

Gravy

·        1 onion - small chopped

·        1 teaspoon oil

·        2 cups beef broth

·        4 tablespoons flour

·        1 teaspoon ketchup

·        1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1.    If you want caramelized onions in your gravy, start by thin slicing a small onion. Cook with 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat until nicely brown. About 7-8 minutes.

2.    Mix 1 pound ground beef with 1/3 cup bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons ketchup,1 teaspoon mustard and Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. If not doing the onions then add 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.

3.    Divide into 3 equal portions. A quarter size indent in the middle will help prevent puffing up of the patties and make cooking evener.

4.    Place steak patties in a large frying pan with a teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Flip about every 5-6 minutes until internal temperature of about 165. About 15-20 minutes depending on thickness, pan, and your burners.

5.    Whisk 4 tablespoons flour with 1 cup beef broth. Remove the Salisbury steak to a plate and lightly tent. Pour out most of the liquid leaving about 3-4 tablespoons of liquid. Allow the pan to cool some. Add 1 cup beef broth and bring to a light boil over medium heat.

6.    Slowly add the flour-broth mixture while continuing to whisk. Add 1 teaspoon ketchup and 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.

7.    Add salt to taste. Whisk until nicely thickened, a few minutes. add the Salisbury steak back into the gravy

8.    Add caramelized onions to the gravy and mix well if using. Add steak back into the mixture, simmer a few minutes then serve with mashed potatoes

Recipe Notes

Pro Tips:

1.      I like my meat servings a bit bigger, so I use 1/3 pound of ground beef per serving. Doing 1/4 pound per serving would be just fine and cook a little faster.

2.      Don't chop the onion. Cut into rings and maybe cut the larger ones in half.

3.      Use the depression in the center of the patties. It will help prevent them from puffing up during cooking, and they will cook more evenly.
