Salisbury Steak with Garlic Herb Gravy

Ingredients:

For the Salisbury Steaks:

• 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80% lean)

• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (yellow or white)

• 1 large egg

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1-2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

For the Garlic Herb Gravy:

• 2 tbsp butter

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium)

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves)

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salisbury Steaks:

   • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together gently (don’t overmix, or the patties will be tough).

   • Shape the mixture into 4-6 oval patties, depending on the size you want.

2. Cook the Salisbury Steaks:

   • Heat 1-2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

   • Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they’re browned and cooked through. Remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate.

3. Make the Garlic Herb Gravy:

   • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

   • Add the flour and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly to form a roux.

   • Gradually whisk in the beef broth and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens.

   • Stir in the thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

4. Combine:

   • Return the cooked Salisbury steaks to the skillet with the gravy. Spoon some of the gravy over the patties.

   • Cover and simmer on low for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the steaks to absorb some of the gravy.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, topped with the garlic herb gravy. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
