Classic Skillet Salisbury Steak

Instructions

  • Grate onion over breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Let sit 5 minutes to absorb moisture.
  • Add remaining patty ingredients except olive oil to the bowl. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  • Shape mixture into 6 oval patties, about 1-inch thick. Press a slight dimple in center of each.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove to a plate.
  • In same skillet, melt butter. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, 5-7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir and cook 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon. Bring to simmer.
  • Return patties to skillet, including any juices from plate. Cover and cook 10-12 minutes until patties are cooked through and gravy thickens.
  • Season gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t skip grating the onion – it’s key for tender, flavorful patties
  • Make ahead: Form patties up to 24 hours ahead, store covered in refrigerator
  • For best results, use room temperature beef and eggs
  • If gravy gets too thick, thin with additional beef broth
  • Store leftovers covered in refrigerator up to 3 days
