Salisbury Steak with Mushrooms

Salisbury steak with mushrooms is a classic comfort food that offers a satisfying combination of savory, tender beef patties smothered in a rich, flavorful gravy with earthy mushrooms. This dish is hearty, filling, and perfect for cozy family dinners. Its simplicity and hearty ingredients make it a timeless favorite that never goes out of style.

The base of Salisbury steak is a seasoned ground beef patty, often mixed with breadcrumbs, egg, onions, and spices like garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The mixture is shaped into oval-shaped patties and seared in a hot pan to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender. This simple yet flavorful beef patty is the star of the dish, but it’s the savory gravy that truly elevates it.

The gravy is made by deglazing the pan with beef broth and simmering it with sautéed onions, garlic, and a generous amount of sliced mushrooms. The mushrooms soak up the rich flavor of the broth, creating a deep, umami-packed sauce that perfectly complements the beef. A little flour or cornstarch is added to thicken the gravy, giving it a smooth, velvety texture. The steaks are then returned to the pan, where they simmer in the mushroom gravy, absorbing all the savory goodness.

Salisbury steak with mushrooms is best served over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, allowing the rich gravy to be soaked up and enjoyed with every bite. It’s a satisfying, comforting dish that brings warmth to the table, making it ideal for colder months or when you’re craving a homey, fulfilling meal.

Whether you’re serving it for a family dinner or making it for a special occasion, Salisbury steak with mushrooms is sure to please. With its tender beef, rich gravy, and savory mushrooms, it’s the kind of dish that brings everyone together and leaves them feeling full and satisfied.
