Juicy Salisbury Steak Smothered in

Juicy Salisbury Steak Smothered in Rich Onion Gravy 😋🍽️
A comforting homemade classic made with tender beef patties and covered in a flavorful onion gravy that’s perfect over mashed potatoes or rice.
Ingredients
For the Beef Patties:
1 lb ground beef
⅓ cup breadcrumbs
2 tsp ketchup
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder (optional)
For the Onion Gravy:
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp cooking oil
2 cups beef broth
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp ketchup
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt, to taste
Instructions

1. Prepare the onions
   If you’d like onions in your gravy, heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until soft, golden, and slightly caramelized, about 7–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the patties
   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. If skipping the onion gravy, mix in onion powder for extra flavor.
3. Shape the steaks
   Form the mixture into 3 or 4 oval patties. Press a small dent in the center of each one to help them cook evenly and keep their shape.
4. Cook the patties
   Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked through.
5. Start the gravy
   Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and 1 cup of beef broth until smooth.
6. Build the sauce
   Drain most of the grease from the skillet, leaving a few tablespoons for flavor. Add the remaining cup of beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
7. Thicken the gravy
   Slowly pour in the flour mixture while whisking constantly. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Cook for a few minutes until the gravy thickens.
8. Finish and serve
   Return the onions (if using) to the gravy and stir. Place the beef patties back into the skillet and let them simmer for 3–4 minutes so they soak up all the flavor.
   Serve hot with creamy mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or buttered rice for the perfect comfort meal. 🍴✨
