Ready to elevate your dinner game with a classic comfort food twist? This Herb-Infused Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy blends tender beef patties with a rich, creamy mushroom sauce. Perfect for a cozy night in or a family gathering, this dish is a surefire hit!
The base of our patties is ground beef, which provides that juicy, savory taste we all love. To bind everything together, we add breadcrumbs and a large egg. The fresh parsley brings a pop of color and freshness. Worcestershire sauce adds depth and umami. A dash of salt and black pepper is all you need to season the meat.
For the sauce, olive oil starts things off, while a touch of butter adds richness. Mushrooms are the star of the gravy, offering earthiness and texture. Beef broth and heavy cream create a luxurious base, with all-purpose flour thickening the mixture. A hint of garlic powder rounds out the flavors.
This dish pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles. For a lighter side, consider serving it with a crisp green salad or steamed green beans to balance the richness.
Begin by gathering your ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix until everything is just combined—overmixing can make the patties tough.
Once mixed, divide the meat into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Try to keep them uniform in size for even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Don't worry if they're not cooked through yet; they'll finish cooking in the sauce.
Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt. Toss in the mushrooms and sauté until they're tender and have released their juices.
Sprinkle the flour and garlic powder over the mushrooms, stirring to coat them. Cook this mixture for about a minute to get rid of the raw flour taste, forming a roux.
Slowly whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover the skillet and let everything simmer for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the patties to cook through.
