Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Salisbury Steak

01 - 2 pounds extra lean ground beef
02 - ½ cup breadcrumbs
03 - 1 large egg
04 - ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
05 - ½ teaspoon salt
06 - ½ teaspoon pepper
07 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
08 - 1 tablespoon butter

→ Onion Mushroom Gravy

09 - 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
10 - 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
11 - 2 cups low sodium beef broth
12 - 1 tablespoon tomato paste
13 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
14 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
15 - 2 teaspoons cornstarch
16 - ¼ teaspoon salt
17 - ¼ teaspoon pepper

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, using your clean hands. Divide into 6 equal pieces and form each one into oval patties.
02 - In a large skillet add the olive oil and butter and heat until melted over medium-high heat. Add the meat patties and fry on both sides until no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a plate.
03 - Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
04 - Add the mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes until the onions are golden brown, another 3 minutes.
05 - Add the beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and stir. In a small bowl whisk the cornstarch with a bit of water or beef broth and add to the skillet. Whisk until the sauce thickens, for about 2 minutes.
06 - Add the meat back to the pan and spoon gravy over the top. Cook for another minute until the meat patties warm through. Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - To keep your Salisbury steaks from falling apart, ensure sufficient eggs and breadcrumbs to bind the ingredients together. When adding extra meat, adjust the eggs and breadcrumbs accordingly.
02 - Do not over-mix the meat mixture, as this could result in tough patties.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave at 20-second intervals until hot.
