Classic Salisbury Steak Gravy (Print-Friendly Version)

Beef patties cooked until tender in a savory onion gravy for a hearty, satisfying meal.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Patties

01 - 900 g 80/20 ground chuck beef
02 - 60 ml seasoned bread crumbs
03 - 2 teaspoons dry mustard
04 - 1 cube beef bouillon, finely crumbled
05 - 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
06 - 15 ml ketchup
07 - 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
09 - 30 ml vegetable oil, plus extra as needed

→ Gravy

10 - 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
11 - 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
12 - 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
13 - 1 tablespoon ketchup
14 - 1 teaspoon kitchen bouquet (browning and seasoning sauce)
15 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
16 - 950 ml beef broth, as needed

# How to Prepare:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ground chuck, bread crumbs, dry mustard, crumbled beef bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper until a uniform mixture forms.
02 - Divide the mixture evenly and shape into 8 thin patties for even cooking.
03 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 30 ml vegetable oil and sear the patties until both sides are well browned. Work in batches if needed to prevent overcrowding.
04 - Remove browned patties from the pan and set aside. Retain 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet, discarding excess.
05 - Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for several minutes until very soft and translucent.
06 - Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
07 - Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic. Cook and whisk continuously for 1 minute until the flour is lightly browned and fully integrated.
08 - Gradually add 480 ml beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and kitchen bouquet to the skillet, whisking to blend and smooth out lumps.
09 - Return the browned patties to the skillet. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add additional beef broth in increments if the gravy becomes overly thick.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For optimal flavor, ensure patties are thin and evenly sized to promote balanced cooking and browning.
02 - Adjust gravy consistency with extra broth as needed; it should be silky and coat a spoon.
