Meat Mixture
- 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Gravy
- 1 tablespoon butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 cup sliced cremini or button mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sliced onion
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour alternative)
- 2 cups beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley or thyme
- Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat, which keeps patties tender.
- Form Patties: Divide the meat mixture into evenly sized patties, about the size of your palm. Press each patty gently to ensure they hold together but are not too dense.
- Brown the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with butter and a little oil. Brown the patties on both sides until golden but not fully cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove patties and set aside.
- Cook the Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, add more butter if needed and sauté sliced onions until soft and translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and become tender and caramelized.
- Make the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the cooked mushrooms and onions, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate browned bits, and cook until the gravy thickens.
- Simmer Patties in Gravy: Return the browned patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy over them, and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the patties to cook thoroughly and soak in the gravy’s rich flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme for color and extra flavor before serving your delicious Bobby Flay Salisbury Steak.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the ground beef to keep patties tender and juicy.
- Brown patties well to achieve a nice crust that locks in flavor.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and taste, avoiding canned varieties.
- You can make the mushroom gravy ahead of time and reheat to save time.
- Adjust gravy thickness by adding more beef broth if too thick or more flour if too thin.
