Homemade Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy

  1. Return browned patties to the skillet with gravy.

  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 10–15 minutes, until patties are cooked through (internal temp ~160°F / 71°C).

  3. Stir gravy occasionally, spooning over patties to coat evenly.


🍽 Step 5: Serve

  • Place patties on a plate and pour onion gravy over the top.

  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.

  • Optional: garnish with chopped parsley.


🧠 Tips for Perfect Salisbury Steak

✔ Use a mix of breadcrumbs and milk — keeps patties juicy
✔ Don’t overmix ground beef — tender patties depend on gentle mixing
✔ Brown patties first — adds flavor and texture
✔ Sauté onions slowly for a deep, sweet flavor
✔ Adjust gravy consistency: more broth for thinner, less for thicker


❄️ Storage

  • Refrigerate: 3–4 days in airtight container

  • Reheat gently on stovetop or microwave

  • Can freeze patties and gravy separately for up to 2 months
