Homemade Salisbury Steak

Step 1

Combine beef mixture:Place all ingredients for the steaks (EXCEPT for the oil) in a large bowl and mix well (I use an electric mixer with the hook attachment because it's way less messy).

Step 2

Shape patties:Shape beef mixture into 4-6 firm patties. I make a shallow indentation in the middle to help them keep their shape during cooking.

Step 3

Brown patties:Heat the oil in a large skillet and brown the steaks from both sides, 3-5 minutes each. Remove to a plate.

Step 4

Make roux:In the same skillet (DON'T wipe it!), melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until starting to brown - do not let it get too dark, or it will be bitter. Pour in the stock, stirring very well.

Step 5

Season gravy:Season gravy with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and onion powder, then add the mushrooms, bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Finish cooking the steaks: Place the steaks in the gravy and cook, covered for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.
