Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

[heart_this] · Feb 8, 2017 · 19 Comments

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

Quick and easy salisbury steaks, aka hamburger steaks, in a tasty mushroom and onion gravy!

I always enjoy a nice steak, whether it’s a tenderloin steak, a rib eye, a new york, etc. and I also enjoy the classic salisbury steak, aka the hamburger steak which is so quick, easy and cheap to make. The salisbury steak is basically a ground beef patty (aka a burger patty) that is pan fried until crispy on the outside and served like a steak to be eaten with a knife and fork rather than in a bun like a burger. Because the steaks are cooked in a pan it’s really nice to make a simple pan sauce to take advantage of all of the brown bits of flavour that are stuck to the bottom of the pan after cooking the patties in it! I like to go with a mushroom and onion style gravy seasoned simply with garlic and thyme and the combo with the beef patties is a fabulous one. Because we are dealing with a ground meat patty here, we have the opportunity to add flavour, both to the patties and to the gravy. I often like to keep it simple and go with the recipe as written but it’s also nice to change it up every once in a while. No matter how you go with these salisbury steaks with mushroom gravy, you are sure to enjoy them!

    I wonder if you have a preference for fat content. I find an 80/20 does quite well for burgers, but my Salisbury comes out a little tough. Any suggestions?

    Unknown: I usually go with medium from the store. Another option is to grind your own to your own preference.

    Thank-you for sharing the recipe! It looks and sounds delicious. Would it be possible to freeze this meal? Make a double batch and freeze half for the future and if so at what point in the recipe do you recommend freezing?

    I just made the Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy and it is AWESOME. The taste is so good, plus it is easy to make. The only thing I will change next time is to use a variety of mushrooms and a lot because I love mushrooms. Thank you.

    Looks delish…. I plan on making this tonight. Question…..Do you remove the patties from the pan before you make the gravy???

    Rie: Yes, you set the patties aside while making the gravy. Enjoy!

    Looks good! So – after making the gravy, do you return the beef patties to the pan with the gravy to warm up together? Thank you!

    I made this today and tripled the recipe to share with a couple neighbors (we’re all retired). The only changes were adding finely chopped celery and sweet peppers, also using potato flour. Huge hit! Happy hubby and happy neighbors! Thank you for such a great recipe!

    Thank you for this recipe, after years of trying to find a good Salisbury Steak and gravy (I’m not a fan of burgers or meatballs) for my meat & potatoes man this fit the bill, even I liked it and that’s saying a lot.

    For the beef broth, is the assumption this is store bought/flavoured? I make homemade bone broth (oxtail, knuckle bones and water only). I wonder if I can use this or if I need to make a stock with carrot, celery etc. for this recipe. Thanks

      I use broth made with carrot celery, etc, or store bought. You can use the broth that you have, but there will be less layers of flavour and aromatics.
