Ingredients
  

For Steaks-

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg whisked
  • 2 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1.5 tablespoon minced garlic about 4-5 cloves
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh cracked pepper
  • 2 tablespoon butter for frying

For Mushroom & Shallot Gravy:

  • 1-2 tablespoon butter
  • 6 oz baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves sliced
  • ½ cup shallot sliced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 cups beef broth
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • ½-1 teaspoon Dijon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steaks:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced shallot, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, kosher salt, and a few cracks of pepper.
  • Gently mix by hand until the ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
  • Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each into an oval patty about ¾ inch thick.

Cook the Steaks:

  • Preheat a frying pan over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the hot pan and melt.
  • Place the steak patties in the pan and cook undisturbed for 4-6 minutes per side, until fully cooked.
  • Remove the steaks from the pan, leaving the grease and drippings behind, and set them aside on a plate.

Make the Gravy:

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and melt, ensuring there are about 3-4 tablespoons of grease.
  • Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until they begin to brown and turn tender.
  • Stir in the sliced garlic and sliced shallot, cooking for another 2 minutes while stirring often to prevent burning.
  • Sprinkle the vegetable mixture with flour, stirring to fully combine.
  • While whisking, slowly pour in 1 cup of beef broth, followed by the dry white wine. Stir for 15-20 seconds until the flour is fully incorporated with no clumps remaining.
  • Add the remaining beef broth, water, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
  • Simmer the gravy for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken.

Finish the Dish:

  • Return the Salisbury steaks and any collected juices back to the pan, spooning some gravy over each steak.
  • Continue simmering for another 3-4 minutes, stirring the gravy around the steaks, until the steaks are warmed through and the gravy has thickened.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve the steaks with mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: These steaks pair beautifully with classic sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or buttered egg noodles. For a lighter option, serve with a crisp green salad or steamed greens.
  • Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of broth if the gravy has thickened too much.
  • Gluten-Free Option: To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs and substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch for thickening the gravy.
