Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) ground beef
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup (60 ml) ketchup
- ½ cup (60 g) dry bread crumbs
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 298 g) condensed french onion soup
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp (8 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp mustard powder
- ¼ cup (60 ml) water
Instructions
- Patty Preparation: Thoroughly blend ground beef, condensed French onion soup, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Craft 6 uniform, oval-shaped patties with consistent density and shape.
- Searing Process: Fire up a skillet over medium-high heat and expertly sear beef patties until a golden-brown crust emerges on both surfaces, roughly 3-4 minutes per side. Skillfully tilt the pan to eliminate excess grease, maintaining a pristine cooking environment.
- Gravy Crafting: Whisk remaining French onion soup with flour until achieving a silky, seamless texture. Integrate ketchup, water, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder, creating a robust, harmonious sauce that promises deep, complex flavors.
- Finishing Touch: Lavishly drench seared patties with the prepared gravy, ensuring complete coverage. Reduce heat to low, seal skillet with a lid, and allow Salisbury steaks to gently simmer and absorb flavors for 20 minutes. Periodically rotate and baste patties to guarantee uniform cooking and maximum flavor infusion.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose ground beef with 80/20 fat content for juicier, more flavorful Salisbury steaks that won’t dry out during cooking.
- Patty Perfection Technique: Avoid overworking the meat mixture to prevent tough, dense patties; gently mix and shape with light hands for tender results.
- Searing Secrets: Ensure skillet is properly heated before adding patties to create a beautiful golden-brown crust that locks in delicious meat juices.
- Gravy Consistency Tip: Whisk flour mixture thoroughly to prevent lumps, creating a smooth, velvety sauce that clings perfectly to the Salisbury steaks.
