Ingredients

For the Patties:

1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)

½ cup panko breadcrumbs (or almond flour for keto)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt & black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)

For the Mushroom Gravy:

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely diced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or 1 tbsp cornstarch for gluten-free)
2 cups beef broth

1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)

Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Make the Patties:

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire, Dijon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently (don’t overwork).
Shape into 4-6 oval patties (about ½-inch thick).

2. Sear the Patties:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned (they’ll finish cooking in the gravy). Remove and set aside.

3. Make the Gravy:

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Add onion and mushrooms, sautéing until softened (5-6 mins).
Stir in garlic, cook for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle flour, stirring for 1 minute to cook off raw taste.

Slowly whisk in beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
Season with salt & pepper to taste.

4. Finish Cooking:

Return patties to the skillet, spooning gravy over them.

Simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, until patties are cooked through.

Serving Suggestions

Serve over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or cauliflower mash.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

This Bobby Flay-inspired Salisbury Steak is savory, tender, and smothered in a decadent mushroom gravy—comfort food at its finest! 🍽️🔥
