Introduction

Bobby Flay’s Salisbury Steak is a comforting classic elevated with a rich mushroom gravy and a touch of Parmesan in the beef patties. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner that feels both hearty and special.

A white plate holds three thick, browned meat patties arranged close together, each topped with soft, sliced brown mushrooms coated in a glossy, dark brown gravy that pools around the patties and covers the plate base. Behind the patties is a light tan serving of creamy mashed potatoes, slightly textured. Fresh chopped green herbs are sprinkled on the mushrooms, gravy, and parts of the patties, adding a fresh green contrast. The plate sits on a white marbled surface with a blurry stove in the background, and the focus is sharp on the food, showing the juicy, well-cooked texture of the meat and shiny sauce.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon grated garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
16 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons half and half
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and grated garlic. Mix until well blended, then shape the mixture into 4 oblong patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until they reach medium rare. Remove from the skillet and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 3: Lower the heat to medium and add sliced mushrooms and onions to the same skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and mushrooms release their moisture.
Step 4: Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Pour in half and half, stir well, and return the beef patties to the skillet. Simmer for a few more minutes until the patties are cooked through and the gravy is creamy.
Step 6: Serve the Salisbury steaks hot, topped with mushroom gravy and garnished with fresh parsley.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, substitute half and half with heavy cream.
Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the patties for a subtle smoky note.
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if you want to make the recipe gluten-free.
Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles for a traditional pairing.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to preserve the texture of the patties and keep the gravy smooth. Avoid microwaving to prevent drying out.

How to Serve

A white shallow bowl holds three thick, round meat patties with a browned, slightly crispy outer layer. Each patty is topped with a glossy brown sauce that has small, cooked, golden-brown garlic slices and sprinkled with fresh green chopped herbs. The patties rest on a base of plain white rice, partially visible around the edges. Additional garlic slices and sauce pool gently around the patties on the bowl's bottom, all placed on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Yes, ground turkey can be used as a leaner alternative, but the patties may be less juicy and flavorful. Consider adding a little olive oil or finely chopped mushrooms to maintain moisture.

How do I know when the patties are fully cooked?

The patties should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety. They should no longer be pink inside and the juices should run clear.
