  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 oval-shaped patties.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and a splash of beef broth until smooth. Pour the flour mixture into the skillet with the onions and stir well to combine.
  5. Gradually pour in the remaining beef broth, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
  6. Return the beef patties to the skillet and spoon some of the onion gravy over each patty. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  7. Serve the Salisbury Steak hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Pair this with...

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Start by boiling peeled and diced potatoes until they're fork-tender. While they're cooking, gently sauté minced garlic in some butter or olive oil until it's golden but not burnt - this mellows out the sharpness and infuses the butter with garlicky goodness. Drain the potatoes, then mash them up. Add the garlic-infused butter, a splash of milk or cream, and season with salt and pepper. Whip everything together until smooth, or leave a few lumps if you prefer. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped chives.

Southern Style Collard Greens

"Start by selecting a hearty bunch of fresh collard greens, washing them thoroughly and removing the tough stems. Slice the greens into broad ribbons and set them aside. In a large pot, sauté some diced onions until translucent. Add chunks of savory ham, letting the meat brown slightly and release its smoky aroma. Once the ham is sizzling, pile in your collard greens. They'll seem towering at first, but they'll wilt down significantly. Pour in some chicken broth for added depth and a touch of apple cider vinegar for a tangy kick. Let everything simmer slowly, melding the flavors together.

Buttery Grilled Corn on the Cob

Start by selecting fresh ears of corn, husks and silks removed. Before grilling, melt some butter and brush it generously over each cob, ensuring every kernel is kissed with that buttery goodness. Season with a sprinkle of salt to contrast that natural sweetness. Once your grill is heated, lay the corn cobs on the grates, turning them occasionally to achieve an even char and those enticing grill marks. The butter will sizzle and infuse the corn with its rich flavor. When they're beautifully golden, remove from the grill. For an extra touch, you can add another swipe of butter or even sprinkle some fresh herbs or parmesan on top.
