Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well incorporated, then form into patties. Aim for about 4-6 patties, depending on your preferred size.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are tender. Pour in the beef broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat and stir in the cornstarch mixed with a small amount of cold water to make a slurry. Stir until the gravy thickens, then return the patties to the skillet and simmer for a few additional minutes for the flavors to meld.
Serve the Salisbury steaks warm, generously topped with the gravy. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or noodles.
