This classic Salisbury steak recipe from Bobby Flay features juicy beef patties served in a rich and savory mushroom gravy. It's comfort food at its finest, perfect for a hearty dinner over mashed potatoes, rice, or greens.
Ingredients
- For the steak patties:
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil for cooking
- For the mushroom gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ lb cremini or white mushrooms sliced
- 1 small onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the patties: In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into 4 oval patties.
- Cook the patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (160°F internal temperature). Set the patties aside.
- Prepare the gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and onion, cooking for 5–7 minutes until softened and browned. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Make the gravy base: Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a roux. Slowly add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Combine: Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over the top, and simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve: Serve the Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or greens.
Notes
- Prep ahead: You can form the patties ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to cook.
- Add cream: For a richer gravy, add a splash of cream after the gravy thickens.
- Mushroom variety: Try using a mix of mushrooms (like shiitake or portobello) for a deeper, more complex flavor.
