Directions

  1. 1

    Salisbury Steaks

  2. 2

    Onion grating – Place breadcrumbs in a bowl. Use a box grater and grate the onion over the breadcrumbs. Mix with fingers, leave to soak for a few minutes. 

  3. 3

    Mix – Add remaining Salisbury Steak ingredients into the large bowl. Use your hands to mix until just combined. Mix well for a couple of minutes until the mixture becomes a bit "pasty" which will ensure your patties hold together well.

  4. 4

    Form patties – Divide into 5 and pat very firmly into oval patties around 3/4" / 1 2/3 cm thick.

  5. 5

    Cooking and Gravy

  6. 6

    Brown patties – Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook the first side for 1 minute or until browned, then gently flip and brown the other side (they will still be raw inside). Remove onto plate.

  7. 7

    Cook aromatics – If skillet is looking dry, add a touch more oil. Add chopped onion and garlic and cook for 2 minute until onions are a bit translucent.

  8. 8

    Cook mushrooms – Add the mushrooms into the skillet and cook for 2 – 3 minutes until golden.

  9. 9

    Make gravy roux – Turn heat down to medium. Add butter. Once melted, add flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

  10. 10

    Gravy – Gradually add in beef broth, stirring as you go. Once mostly lump free, whisk in remaining Gravy ingredients. 

  11. 11

    Finish cooking steaks – Add steaks along with the juices on the plate. Cook for 5 – 7 minutes, or until gravy is thickened, stirring occasionally around the steaks. If the gravy thickens too quickly, add more water.

  12. 12

    Season gravy – Remove steaks onto a plate. Taste gravy and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

  13. 13

    Serve salisbury steaks topped with the mushroom gravy – over mashed potato is ideal! Sprinkle with a bit of parsley if desired.
