Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, and seasonings. Mix gently until just combined—overmixing can lead to tough patties.

Sear the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties until brown on both sides—about 4-5 minutes per side—then remove them from the pan and set aside.

Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and remaining onions. Sauté until golden brown and fragrant—about 5-7 minutes—to develop that rich flavor.

Create the Gravy Base: Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while scraping up those tasty browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and allow flavors to meld.

Add Heavy Cream**: Stir in heavy cream gradually while mixing well. Return patties to skillet; let them simmer in this luscious gravy for about 10 minutes until heated through.

Serve with Style**: Plate your Salisbury steaks generously topped with gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley for that chef’s touch that impresses everyone at dinner!
