🥩 Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy

Ingredients

For the steaks

• 500 g ground beef (mince)
• 1 small onion, finely grated or minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp mustard (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1–2 tbsp oil (for frying)

For the onion gravy

• 1 large onion, sliced thin
• 2 tbsp butter or oil
• 2 tbsp flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

🍔 1. Form the steaks

• In a bowl, mix ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Shape into oval patties (like small steaks).

🔥 2. Cook the steaks

• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Brown patties on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side).
• Remove and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).

🧅 3. Make onion gravy

• In the same pan, melt butter.
• Add sliced onions and cook until soft and golden (8–10 minutes).
• Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes (this removes raw flour taste).

🍲 4. Build the gravy

• Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring.
• Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Simmer until slightly thickened.

🍖 5. Finish cooking

• Return steaks to the pan.
• Cover and simmer 10–15 minutes until fully cooked and tender.

🍽️ Serve with

• Mashed potatoes
• Rice
• Steamed vegetables
• Buttered noodles

💡 Tips

• For extra flavor, add mushrooms to the gravy.
• Don’t skip browning the patties—it builds deep flavor.
• If gravy is too thick, add a little more broth.

🧠 Note

Despite the fancy name, Salisbury steak is basically a seasoned beef patty served in rich onion gravy—comfort food, not a steak cut.

If you want, I can also give you a healthier version (lower fat, higher protein) or a South Asian-style twist using local spices.
