Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground pork
Binders and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Gravy and Accompaniments:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ground beef and ground pork, ensuring an even blend of meats.
- Integrate breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, black pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic into the meat mixture, mixing gently but thoroughly to maintain a tender texture.
- Shape the meat mixture into oval-shaped patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick, creating uniform portions for consistent cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, preparing to sear the meat patties.
- Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and internal temperature reaches 160°F, then transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms until they release their moisture and turn golden, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stirring continuously to create a roux and prevent burning.
- Gradually pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, whisking constantly to eliminate lumps and create a smooth gravy.
- Simmer the gravy for 5-6 minutes, allowing it to thicken and develop rich flavor.
- Stir in heavy cream, creating a luxurious and velvety sauce consistency.
- Return meat patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat and marry flavors.
- Serve hot, generously coating the Salisbury steak patties with the creamy mushroom gravy.
Notes
- Experiment with ground meat blends like bison or lamb for unique flavor profiles and added depth to the classic Salisbury steak.
- Finely dice onions or use a food processor to create a smoother texture and prevent large chunks in the meat mixture.
- Replace breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or crushed pork rinds for a low-carb or keto-friendly version.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness and prevent overcooking, which can make the patties tough and dry.
