Ingredients:
For the Salisbury Steak:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
For the Mushroom & Onion Gravy:
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
- 2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup milk (or cream for a richer flavor)
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
- In a large pot, place the cubed potatoes and cover them with salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic to the pot, allowing it to soften and infuse the potatoes with flavor.
- Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Add the milk and butter. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the mashed potatoes warm while you prepare the rest of the dish.
2. Make the Salisbury Steak Patties:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 oval patties, depending on the size you prefer.
3. Cook the Patties:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Leave the drippings in the skillet for the gravy.
4. Prepare the Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or butter) if necessary. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and mushrooms, stirring constantly to coat the vegetables. Let the flour cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to ensure that no lumps form. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Allow the gravy to cook for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked Salisbury steak patties to the skillet with the mushroom and onion gravy. Spoon some gravy over the patties and let them simmer for a couple of minutes to ensure they are heated through and well-coated in the gravy.
- Serve the Salisbury steaks over a bed of creamy garlic mashed potatoes, then top with the mushroom and onion gravy. This makes for a deliciously comforting, filling meal.
