Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Ground beef– Go for leaner ground beef so the steaks don’t cook down too much.
- Egg– For binding
- Bread crumbs– Seasoned. If you don’t have seasoned bread crumbs, you can make your own by stirring a teaspoon of Italian seasoning into bread crumbs.
- Seasoning– Black pepper, seasoning salt, onion powder, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Montreal Steak seasoning
- Olive oil– To fry the steaks in
- Gravy Ingredients– Finely diced onion, all purpose flour, beef broth, and cooking sherry
How to Make
This hamburger steak recipe is very easy to make!
Just mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning in a large bowl.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal sized balls and then flatten them into patties.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the patties and onion in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side.
When the patties are brown, take them out of the skillet and put them on a plate to keep warm.
Sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet.
Stir in flour with a fork, scraping the bits of beef off of the bottom as you stir.
Gradually mix in the beef broth and sherry and season the gravy with seasoned salt.
Let the gravy simmer over medium low heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until the gravy thickens.
Turn heat down to low, return patties to the gravy, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Serve the patties on plates with gravy and onions spooned over top.
Enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Keep in mind that the gravy will thicken in the fridge so you may need to thin it by stirring in more beef broth until it reaches the desired consistency.
Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
Salisbury steaks are so good with mashed potato or any other side dish that can act as a vehicle for the gravy!
Make sure you don’t forget the piece of good crusty bread to sop up all the extra gravy.
And if you do want some greenery on the side we like sweet peas, Grandma’s canned green beans, and steamed broccoli florets.
Tips and Tricks
- Try not to disturb the patties while they are frying on each side before flipping them. You want the meat to caramelize.
- The trick to good gravy? Stir, stir, stir! And add the broth slowly, stirring the whole time you add it so it incorporates well.
- Don’t want to use sherry? You can skip it and just add a little more beef broth. You could also substitute a sweeter red wine for the sherry if you prefer.
