We have probably all had some not-so-great Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy before. I can recall this dish being served in the school cafeteria and it was not all that appealing. This recipe really is pretty tasty and it’s easy to make in a short time.
A 90% lean beef is what I use for this recipe. There is no need to drain any fat or liquid from the pan. The addition of the egg, fresh breadcrumbs, and seasoning makes it a tender treat. The catsup gives the sauce a little tang. I think you’ll really like this recipe!

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons catsup
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- olive oil
Gravy Ingredients
- 2 – 1/2 Tablespoons flour
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1-1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 Tablespoon catsup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small shallot or 1 small onion – sliced
- 1/2-pound baby Portobello mushrooms – sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions for Beef:
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Then, mix in the large egg, catsup, and mustard.
Add the ground beef and combine the ingredients.
In the bottom of the bowl, divide the meat into four equal parts and make patties from the ground beef. I used a patty maker, but you can just as easily use your hands to make patties.
Drizzle some olive oil in a large skillet. Heat until hot. Then, brown the patties well over medium-high heat. Remove the patties to a plate.

In the picture above, you can see a Tupperware patty maker, which we use all of the time. You can find a similar one here ► Patty Maker. Ours makes a 4-inch diameter patty. Be aware of the size of the patty maker. It makes a difference in cooking time.
Mushroom Gravy:
Drop the butter into the hot skillet. Then, add the mushrooms and sliced shallots or onions. Cook until the shallots are transparent, and the mushrooms are cooked. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the mushrooms and shallots.
Add the flour to the skillet, stir, and cook for a couple of minutes. If you need to, add an extra pat of butter to the pan. You want to cook out the raw flour taste.
Stir in the catsup and the Worcestershire sauce. Then, pour in the beef stock and mix well. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Lower the heat to simmer.
Then, gently return the meat patties to the skillet. Place a lid on the pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Then, serve.
The sauce is great over mashed potatoes. I love simple roasted green beans with this dish. You can put them in the oven when you put the lid on the pan, and they’ll be ready at the same time.
