How to Make Easy Homemade Salisbury Steak
Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (for the skillet)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted broccoli
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, two teaspoons of ketchup, Dijon mustard, oregano, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Shape the mixture into four oval patties that are about 3/4-inch thick.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about three minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until you have a smooth mixture.
- Gradually add in the beef stock while stirring to avoid lumps.
- Stir in one tablespoon of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and the sliced mushrooms. Simmer for about five minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Return the patties to the skillet and nestle them into the gravy. Cover and cook for about ten more minutes until the patties are fully cooked (the internal temperature should reach 160°F).
- Serve the Salisbury steak over a bed of mashed potatoes or your choice of sides.
How to Serve Easy Homemade Salisbury Steak
This dish is best served hot and freshly made. Place the Salisbury steak on a plate alongside a generous helping of mashed potatoes, allowing the gravy to soak into the potatoes. You can also add roasted broccoli or your favorite steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
How to Store Easy Homemade Salisbury Steak
If you have any leftovers, let the Salisbury steak cool to room temperature. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, you can use the microwave or warm it on the stovetop, adding a splash of beef stock or water to keep the gravy moist.
Tips to Make Easy Homemade Salisbury Steak
- For added flavor, you can mix in some minced garlic or chopped onions into the beef mixture.
- Make sure not to overcook the patties, as they can become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach 160°F.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can add a bit more flour while whisking in the stock, or simmer the gravy longer to reduce it further.
Variation
You can give this recipe a twist by adding grated cheese on top of the patties during the last few minutes of cooking for a cheesy version. Additionally, you can swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
FAQs
1. Can I use frozen ground beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen ground beef. Just make sure to thaw it completely before mixing the ingredients.
2. What can I substitute for panko breadcrumbs?
If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs will work fine. You could also use crushed crackers as an alternative.
3. Is Salisbury steak the same as a burger?
While both are made from ground meat, Salisbury steak is typically served with gravy and is often shaped differently than a burger patty.
