👩🍳 How to Make It
Step 1: Form the Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly combined.
Shape the mixture into 4–6 oval patties, depending on your preferred size.
Step 2: Brown the Patties
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the patties and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Gravy
Lower the heat to low. In a bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix and hot water until smooth.
Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine and Simmer
Pour the prepared gravy into the skillet and return the cooked patties to the pan.
Let everything simmer gently until the gravy thickens and the patties are heated through.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Salisbury steak hot, generously topped with the rich brown gravy.
It pairs perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes or buttery egg noodles.
