This hearty dish is perfect for a satisfying family dinner and is garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

Ingredients

Beef Patties:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Mushroom Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients for Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined to avoid tough patties. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a 3/4-inch thick patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing up during cooking.
  2. Sear the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the patties and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until a deep brown crust forms. This step locks in flavor and texture. Once browned, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Create the Gravy Base: Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet to boost the flavor and create a smooth gravy.
  5. Simmer Patties in Gravy: Return the seared patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10-15 minutes. This allows the patties to cook fully while absorbing the rich flavors of the gravy and becoming tender.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Plate the Salisbury steaks and spoon the mushroom gravy over them. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the ground beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
  • Make an indentation in the patties to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
  • Searing the patties well adds a deeper flavor to the dish.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, cook it a few minutes longer before adding the patties back to the skillet.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
