By ksgroves

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1 TBS tomato paste
• 1 TBS yellow mustard
• 1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• Kosher salt (to taste)
• Gravy
• 2 TBS butter
• 1 onion diced
• 2-3 TBS flour
• 1/2 tsp. ground thyme
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1 TBS soy sauce
• 6 oz. mushrooms (optional) sliced
• 3 TBS fresh parsley (optional) chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, tomato paste, yellow mustard, worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine all of the ingredients. Shape the meat mixture into four oval-shaped patties.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat for about a minute; the add the butter. Place the meat patties in the skillet and cook them for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they're well-browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Prepare the gravy: add the chopped onions to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the onions until they are translucent and caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle 2 to 3 TBS of flour over the caramelized onions and stir to coat. (Use 2 TBS of flour if you like you gravy on the thinner side, or 3 TBS of flour for a thicker gravy). Cook the flour-coated onions for another minute; until the flour starts to smell toasty. add the dried thyme and cook, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Gradually stir in the beef broth and soy sauce and raise the heat back to mdium.
3. Add the seared patties back to the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook the patties for 10 to 15 more minutes, or until they're cooked through. Taste the gravy for seasoning (it will thicken more as it cools). Remove the salisbury steaks from the heat and serve them warm.
