Ingredients for Easy Salisbury Steak with Gravy

We tried to keep our recipe simple for all the picky eaters you might be cooking for. There's plenty of substitutes and modifications you can make that we'll list here as well! We liked the way The Pioneer Woman kept a similar recipe simple, so we took some inspiration from her.

For our patties, you'll need…

Ground Beef – We prefer a lean ground beef for this recipe. It'll help your patties hold together much better! If you have any dietary concerns, mixing or substituting the beef with ground turkey is fine.
Bread Crumbs – We usually use crumbs but we've seen all sorts of substitutes here! Experiment with rice, stovetop stuffing mix, crackers, or even oats.
Ketchup
Mustard – Dijon is an interesting substitute to try here.
Worcestershire Sauce
Garlic & Onion Powders

Our gravy, meanwhile, is going to use…

Brown Gravy Mix Packets – Alternatively , you could make this recipe with our Easy Brown Gravy !
Ketchup
Worcestershire

How to make Salisbury Steak

We'll start this recipe off my mixing up our meat and forming our patties. This is as easy as dropping all of our patty ingredients into a mixing bowl and mixing it all together with our hands . If you're remaking this recipe and have noticed your patties tend to fall apart fairly easy, you might want to crack an egg into your meat . Note that one pound of ground beef will make about 4 hamburger patties.

Once the meats all mixed up and formed, we're going to heat some oil in the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. When your pan's all warmed up, drop your patties in and get to browning them. Cook on both sides until all the pink is gone- if you want to be extra safe, probe your patties with a food thermometer to check for doneness at around 160 degrees .

Now that we've browned our patties, we can turn the heat down to low and start on our gravy. If you're following along with our gravy recipe, start by mixing your gravy mix up with some hot water, whisking well to combine . Add in the ketchup and Worcestershire and whisk those in as well.

With our gravy all mixed up, we can finally add it to our patties. Pour your gravy over all the patties in the skillet. Be generous!

All that's left from here is to let the gravy thicken and warm up in the skillet with our patties! Just let everything sit in the skillet over low heat until the gravy has thickened to your preference . Optionally garnish your finished steak patties with a bit of parsley, plate up, and enjoy!
