Gourmet Salisbury Steak with Gravy (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Meat Patties

01 - 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
02 - 1 onion, finely diced
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
05 - 1 large egg
06 - 1/3 cup tomato sauce (marinara)
07 - 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
08 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
09 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
11 - Salt to taste

→ Mushroom Gravy

12 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
13 - 1 onion, sliced
14 - 9 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
15 - 2 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
16 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
17 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
18 - 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
19 - 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water

# Instructions:

01 - Start by sautéing the diced onion in a skillet over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic, cook for another minute, then set aside to cool slightly.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the cooled onion mixture with ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, tomato sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, pepper, and salt. Mix gently just until combined, then shape into 4-5 oval patties.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in your skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for about 1 minute per side until golden. They won't be fully cooked yet - transfer them to a plate.
04 - In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Cook sliced onions until browned, then add mushrooms and cook until they turn golden. Return the patties to the pan.
05 - Pour in beef broth and add onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
06 - Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring gently, for about 5 minutes until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Make sure patties reach 160°F internal temperature.

# Notes:

01 - Use high-quality 80% lean ground beef for best flavor and texture
02 - Patties can be formed and refrigerated overnight to help them hold shape
03 - Perfect served over mashed potatoes or polenta to soak up the gravy
