Ingredients
Scale
For the Patties
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/3 cup bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
For the Gravy
- 2 packets Brown Gravy Mix (approximately 1 oz each)
- 2 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (for cooking patties)
Instructions
- Prepare Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use clean hands to mix everything thoroughly until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and flatten each into a patty shape.
- Cook Patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning. Remove patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Make Gravy: In a bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix, 2 cups of hot water, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Simmer: Pour the prepared gravy into the skillet that was used for the patties, including any remaining juices. Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat. Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy over each, and stir gently. Let everything simmer for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly. If the gravy becomes too thick, add ¼ cup of hot water and stir to achieve desired consistency.
- Serve: Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, generously spooning the brown gravy over the patties. This dish pairs wonderfully with classic sides such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a hearty and comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste; additional Worcestershire sauce or mustard can enhance the flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, simmer it longer but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Avocado oil can be replaced with other neutral oils like vegetable or canola oil.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
