Ingredients
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, one package of brown gravy mix, 1/2 cup hot water, minced onion, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Shape the mixture into 6 or 8 patties.
- Place the patties in a pan at least 1-inch deep.
- Broil in the oven, turning to brown on both sides.
- When browned, combine the remaining gravy mix with 2 cups hot water.
- Pour the gravy mixture over the patties after draining excess grease.
- Place the pan back in the oven and turn the heat to 450°F (or 425°F if using glass).
- When the gravy begins to boil, leave in the oven until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes depending on pan size.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding Worcestershire sauce or Dijon mustard to the beef mixture. If you want a healthier option, ground turkey can be used instead of beef, though it may require additional seasoning. To save time, prepare the gravy in advance or use homemade gravy for a richer taste. For a different texture, add breadcrumbs to the meat mixture for extra moisture.
Serving Suggestions
Salisbury steak pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or egg noodles, allowing the gravy to soak in. Steamed vegetables such as green beans or peas make excellent sides, adding color and nutrition to the meal. For a heartier dish, consider serving it alongside *Seven Layer Casserole for a comforting family dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Salisbury steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Cover the skillet to heat evenly, or microwave them in short intervals, checking for warmth.
