- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup finely diced onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt

For the Gravy:

Instructions:
Make the Salisbury Steaks:
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and shape into 4-6 oval patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until browned on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add mushrooms and onions, cooking until softened and lightly browned.
- Stir in the flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and let thicken (about 3-5 minutes).
Combine:
- Return the Salisbury steaks to the skillet, nestling them in the gravy. Cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve:
- Serve the Salisbury steaks over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Spoon the mushroom gravy generously over the top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh finish.
- This dish is sure to bring warmth to the table. Let me know if you’d like additional tips or variations!
