    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    • It is an easy dinner recipe for classic comfort food.
    • This delicious salisbury steak is rich in flavor but low in calories/
    • The entire recipe is made on the stove top in one dish meaning less mess to clean up.
    • It's a bunless burger covered in rich brown gravy that even picky eaters will love.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Lean ground beef: choose a low fat blend of meat to fat ratio, my preference is 85/15.

    Butter: just a small amount is used and added for flavor

    Onion and garlic cloves: adds flavor to the meat and gravy. I like to use diced onions but fans of large onion pieces in the gravy can slice them.

    Button mushrooms: I prefer the baby button mushrooms and halve them, however a regular sized mushroom will work, they will need to be sliced.

    Beef stock and dry red wine: the red wine adds extra flavor to the gravy, but you can stick with all beef broth if preferred.

    All-purpose flour: the flour is used as a thickening agent in the gravy recipe.

    Red wine vinegar: for a splash of acid as a flavor enhancer.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. In a large bowl combine onion, pepper, salt, garlic, and ground beef. Shape meat mixture into 4 (½-inch-thick) oval patties.
    2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray and add patties, cooking for 3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
    3. Melt butter in same large skillet. Add mushrooms and sauté 4 minutes, until softened and water has released. Stir in red wine and cook 2 minutes.
    4. In a large measuring cup, combine beef broth and flour. Add to skillet, whisking constantly, bringing the gravy to a boil.
    5. Reduce heat to medium and cook 5 minutes or until gravy has thickened. Add salisbury steak patties and vinegar to the skillet and cook 2 minutes longer. Serve hot.

    🥄 Equipment

    Large skillet

    Large bowl

    Turner

    Large measuring cup

    Hand whisk

    🥫Storage

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute your preferred ground meat for the beef. Good choices would be ground turkey or chicken.
    • Substitute beef broth for the red wine.

    💭 Tips

    • If gravy is not thick enough for your tastes, mix together 1 tablespoon cold water and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until cornstarch has dissolved. Whisk into the gravy and cook for 1 minute, until gravy thickens more.
    • This is a great for meal prep! Place cooked hamburger patties and gravy in a freezer safe and oven safe container and freeze up to 3 months. To heat, remove from freezer and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, until meat patties are warmed through and gravy is bubbly.

    🏫 The Last Word

    I because curious about where this recipe originated and went on a mission to discover that it is an American dish created by Dr. James Henry Salisbury during the Civil War as a way to combat digestion issues of soldiers. It later became a popular frozen tv dinner that you could buy in individual servings or family sized.

      Shelby,
      I would use the red wine and beef broth also, the wine adds so much to the overall flavor profile of the gravy.

      Bon appetit!
