Toss the freezer section variety in favor of this scrumptious, savory homemade Salisbury steak. Every bite is absolutely mouthwatering.

So, what is Salisbury steak? It’s not steak at all, but seasoned ground beef patties, formed into the shape of steak. I like to use 90/10 ground beef, since you don’t want your pan too greasy. To cook, you sizzle the steaks in a buttery skillet with caramelized onions and a rich brown gravy. Serve over hot mashed potatoes or noodles for an easy, family friendly dinner that everyone will love.

Are you hungry yet?

The steps to this quick and easy, delicious dinner are so easy!

Simply mix up your grown beef, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon, salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 4-6 oval patties, fry them in a butter-olive oil mixture until golden and crispy. Remove the “steaks” from the skillet. Toss your onions into the hot butter to caramelize and brown.

Once your onions have softened, pour in your gravy mixture of beef broth, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. It’s starting to smell good, right?

If your sauce needs a little thickening, add a slurry. This is a mixture of cornstarch and water that you whip up, then add to your skillet. Let that sauce bubble away, and get nice and thick!

This dish is unreal, easy and so scrumptious served over hot mashed potatoes or hot noodles. The whole family will love it. Try it tonight!
