Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (dissolved in a bit of cold water)

Equipment: You would need a good non-stick skillet for this recipe.

How To Make Salisbury Steak

1. First things first, get a big bowl, chuck in the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Knead them together until blended.
2. Next, dish out your beef mixture into four equal parts. Shape them into oval patties���kind of like mini steaks, yeah? Then, fire up your trusty skillet over medium heat and slide in your faux steaks.
3. Cook your patties until they are well browned, flipping them once. After browning, serve them a timeout and focus on the skillet. Don’t clean it – we need the beef drippings for that flavorsome onion mushroom gravy.
4. Add onions and mushrooms to the skillet, cook till they’re tender. Pour in beef broth. Now, remember that cornstarch you kept aside? It’s showtime for it. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch into the skillet until the gravy thickens.
5. Invite the patties back into the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently until the patties are cooked through. Voila! Your Salisbury Steak is ready for savoring.

Tips For The Best Results

• For a more juicy steak, do not over mix the beef mixture.
• Shape your patties slightly thin in the center for even cooking.
• Regulate your heat while simmering the patties in the gravy. High heat will dry out the steaks.

Storage Tips

• Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container. It’s good for 3-4 days.
• To freeze, lay the cooled Salisbury Steaks flat on a baking sheet and freeze till solid. Then transfer them into freezer-safe bags.
