Ingredients

Scale

Patties

  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1/3 cup Bread Crumbs
  • 2 tsp Ketchup
  • 1 tsp Mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Gravy

  • 2 packets Brown Gravy Mix
  • 2 cups Hot Water
  • 1 tsp Ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix Pattie Ingredients: Combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Use your hands to massage and mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  2. Heat Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing it to warm up and coat the bottom evenly.
  3. Cook Patties: Form the meat mixture into patties and cook them in the hot skillet on both sides until they are no longer pink inside, ensuring they are cooked through and nicely browned.
  4. Lower Heat: Reduce the skillet’s heat to low to prepare for simmering the gravy without burning the patties.
  5. Prepare Gravy: In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix and hot water until smooth. Add the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce and mix well to enhance flavor.
  6. Add Gravy to Patties: Pour the prepared gravy over the patties in the skillet, distributing it evenly.
  7. Simmer: Allow the patties and gravy to gently simmer on low heat until the gravy is warm and thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the patties moist and flavorful.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute bread crumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • Serve Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
