Meaty, beefy, and ready in well under 30 minutes, this easy copycat Diner-Style Salisbury Steak is good eats!
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 slice white bread crusts removed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
for the gravy
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Maggi Sauce optional
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pinch dried thyme
Instructions
- Tear the slice of bread into small chunks and soak it in the milk for 5 minutes, then mash it with a fork until it is a loose paste.
- Mix the ground beef, bread and milk mixture, onion powder, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, eggs, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl until well combined.
- Form the mixture into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Brown the patties in a skillet over medium heat on both sides. Transfer the patties to a dish to keep warm. You'll finish cooking them soon. Leave any fat remaining in the pan.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and saute until they’re soft, about 6 minutes.
- Deglaze the skillet with beef broth, adding Maggi sauce, thyme, and tomato paste to the mix.
- Return the patties to the skillet and simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, flipping the patties half way, or until they’re cooked in the middle. They should reach an internal temperature of 165-F.
- Scoot the patties to the side, then mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the skillet, and bring back to a simmer to thicken. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste then serve!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Don’t overmix the meat; only mix it until it’s just combined.
- Maggi sauce adds so much umami and flavor, but you can skip it if you can’t find it.
- Don't rush the browning of the patties; this step adds a deep flavor to the overall dish.
- Finishing the patties in the cooking sauce helps keep them moist and adds tons of flavor to the gravy.
