Homemade Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy

Ingredients:

- 1 pound ground beef

- ⅓ cup bread crumbs

- 2 tsp ketchup

- 1 tsp mustard

- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

- ½ tsp garlic powder

- ½ tsp onion powder (optional, use if not doing onion in gravy)

Gravy:

- 1 small onion

- 1 tsp oil

- 2 cups beef broth

- 4 tbsp flour

- 1 tsp ketchup

- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

1. Caramelized Onions (Optional): Thinly slice a small onion. Cook with 1 teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat until nicely browned, about 7-8 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.

2. In a bowl, mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Divide the mixture into 3-4 equal portions and shape into patties.

3. Place the steak patties in a large frying pan with a teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Cook, flipping every 5-6 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches about 165°F, about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness.

4. In the same pan, whisk together flour and 1 cup of beef broth. Remove the Salisbury steak to a plate and lightly tent.

5. Pour out most of the liquid from the pan, leaving about 3-4 tablespoons. Allow the pan to cool slightly, then add 1 cup of beef broth and bring to a light boil over medium heat.

6. Slowly add the flour-broth mixture while continuing to whisk. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to taste. Whisk until nicely thickened, a few minutes.

7. If using, add caramelized onions to the gravy and mix well. Add the steak back into the mixture and simmer for a few minutes.

8. Serve with mashed potatoes or as desired.
