Everyone needs a good Salisbury Steak recipe for their weekly dinner rotation! This wonderful meal is made with a simple ground beef patty and a rich mushroom gravy.

INGREDIENTS

Salisbury Steak 2 lb ground beef extra lean 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 1 large egg 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp butter Onion Mushroom Gravy 1 large onion halved and sliced thinly 8 oz cremini mushrooms optional 2 cups beef broth low sodium 1 tbsp tomato paste 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tsp cornstarch 1/4 tsp salt or to taste 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, using your clean hands (or you could wear disposable gloves).

Divide into 6 equal pieces and form each one into oval patties. In a large skillet add the olive oil and butter and heat until melted over medium-high heat. Add the meat patties and fry on both sides until no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions and cook until softened. Add the mushrooms, if using, and cook for a few more minutes until the onions are golden brown.

Add the beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and stir. In a small bowl whisk the cornstarch with a bit of water or beef broth and add to the skillet. Whisk until the sauce thickens, for about 2 minutes.

Add the meat back to the pan and spoon gravy over the top. Cook for another minute until the meat patties warm through.

Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes.
