Ingredients
For the steak:
- 1 pound (454 g) ground beef
- 1/4 cup (30 g) breadcrumbs
- 1 large (1 ) egg
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) mustard powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) kosher salt
- lots fresh ground black pepper , or to taste
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) cooking oil , for searing beef patties
For the Mushroom Gravy
- 3 tablespoons (30 g) butter
- 8 ounces (227 g) mushrooms , sliced
- 1 (1 ) medium onion , sliced
- 2 cloves (2 cloves) garlic , minced
- 1/4-1/2 cup (30-60 g) flour , depending on how thick you like your gravy
- 3 cups (720 ml) broth (beef, chicken or vegetable)
- kosher salt or sea salt , or to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In large bowl mix together all the steak ingredients (beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic salt, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper). Shape into 4 oval patties.
- Heat large pan over medium-high heat and then add oil. Brown both sides of patties (about 1 minute per side) and then remove from the pan.
- Keep same pan and beef juices over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until onions are golden and excess mushroom liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
- Add garlic and butter. Cook for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the flour, cooking and stirring to remove lumps. Add about 1/2 – 1 cup of beef stock, whisking until incorporated.
- Increase heat to High. Slowly pour in the remaining broth and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (the saltiness and flavors will concentrate some when it reduces down).
- Once gravy starts to boil, reduce heat to low. Stirring often, simmer until the gravy starts to thicken, about 5-10 minutes. Add salisbury steak patties back into the gravy and cook until the steak patties are cooked to your preferred doneness (usually about 5-10 minutes), stirring the gravy occasionally around the steaks. Taste for seasoning and add more salt & pepper, if desired.
- Serve the steaks topped with the mushroom sauce. They are excellent over rice, pasta or mashed potatoes!

Excellent dish! Mine turned out just like the picture! The whole family LOVED it especially my 80 yr old mother and that’s saying something ! Thank you for sharing!
That’s awesome. Thanks so much for the feedback! So glad everyone loved it.
I heeded previous comments of separately mixing flour with stock before adding to pan and adding a bit of sherry to the gravy. But there’s one tip I wanted to share that will put your gravy over the top! Add a heaping teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon (roasted beef base) to the flour/stock mixture. The flavor it adds is bar none!
Very flavorful and yummy!
I love the look and ingredients in this recipe, however, I’m on a very low sodium diet, due to a serious heart condition. Can you tell me which ingredients I can change or eliminate or substitute to retain the flavor? I would appreciate knowing this very much. Thank you!
Hi Barbara, eliminating anything that says “salt” will help lower the sodium, but will greatly reduce flavor. Maybe use garlic powder, or more onion powder or your favorite spices to add the extra flavor.
I’m not sure what I did wrong..I browned the patties but they took about 45 mins to fully cook through in the gravy. It turned out good but way longer than I expected
Hi Brook, it could be that the patties were too thick and the heat was on too high. Maybe next time make the patties smaller and thinner. This would mean making more smaller patties. Let us know if this helps the next time you cook it!
I made this recipe for Father’s Day and the family loved it and so did I.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed our Salisbury steak recipe Gail. Thanks for sharing.
