Make this homemade Salisbury steak recipe for the most classic family dinner. Featuring perfectly seasoned ground beef patties bathed in homemade mushroom gravy, each bite is deeply comforting. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, chopped onion, ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval or round patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove them from the heat.
In the same skillet, add the butter, sliced mushrooms, and onions. Sauté over medium heat until they become tender, around 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine, allowing it to cook for a couple of minutes. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly. Continue to stir and cook until the mixture thickens and the gravy is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Return the steak patties to the skillet and simmer in the mushroom gravy for an additional 5 minutes.
