Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

Step 1

Place breadcrumbs in a bowl. Use a box grater and grate the onion over the breadcrumbs. Mix with fingers, leave to soak for a few minutes.

Step 2

Add remaining Salisbury Steak ingredients into the large bowl. Use your hands to mix until just combined. Mix well for a couple of minutes until the mixture becomes a bit "pasty" which will ensure your patties hold together well.

Step 3

Divide into 5 and pat firmly into oval patties around 3/4" / 1 2/3 cm thick.

Step 4

Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook the first side for 1 minute or until browned, then flip and brown the other side (they will still be raw inside). Remove onto plate.

Step 5

If skillet is looking dry, add a touch more oil. Add chopped onion and garlic and cook for 2 minute until onions are a bit translucent.

Step 6

Add the mushrooms into the skillet and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until golden.

Step 7

Turn heat down to medium. Add butter. Once melted, add flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Step 8

Gradually add in beef broth, stirring as you go. Once mostly lump free, whisk in remaining Gravy ingredients.

Step 9

Add steaks along with the juices on the plate. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes, or until gravy is thickened, stirring occasionally around the steaks. If the gravy thickens too quickly, add more water.

Step 10

Remove steaks onto a plate. Taste gravy and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11

Serve salisbury steaks topped with the mushroom gravy - over mashed potato is ideal! Sprinkle with a bit of parsley if desired.
