INGREDIENTS FOR GRAVY
- 2 cups beef broth

Prep the Salisbury Steak Mixture
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 4-6 oval patties, about ¾ inch thick.
Make the Gravy:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they're softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional minute to get rid of the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it thicken for a few minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Finish Cooking the Patties:
Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked through and the gravy has thickened to your liking. Rest for a minute or so before serving.
To serve: I love serving salisbury steak over mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles (like stroganoff).
For little kids: This is a super family-friendly recipe but if you've got picky little eaters you can use an immersion blender to blend the onions into the gravy so they'll never know.
