Mississippi Salisbury Steak takes the classic comfort food and gives it a Southern-style twist with ranch seasoning and pepperoncini in the gravy. It’s hearty, freezer-friendly, and the perfect weeknight meal.
Mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, and salt. Shape the mixture into four patties, each weighing about 6 ounces, and flatten them to a thickness of ¾ inch with a shallow indentation in the center.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown patties on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Sauté the onion in the skillet until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the pepperoncini and cook for 2 minutes more.
Whisk beef stock, ranch mix, and au jus together. Pour into skillet, bring to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes.
Return the patties and juices to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over them and simmer, turning once, until they reach 165°F, about 5 minutes.
Add cornstarch slurry if a thicker gravy is desired. Simmer it for 1 minute more.
Garnish with the fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
A cast-iron skillet gives the best crust on the patties and deepens the flavor of the gravy.
Don’t rush the onions; letting them caramelize a bit brings more sweetness to balance the tangy peppers.
Use a thermometer to check doneness so your beef stays juicy, not overcooked.
