Salisbury Steak with Gravy

Ingredients

• 1½ lb ground beef
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 onion
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into 4 oval patties.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove patties and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Sauté sliced onions and mushrooms until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the gravy thickens.
6. Return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
7. Stir in Dijon mustard if using. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
