Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

 2 servings 

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef

1 tablespoon of oil

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

For the gravy 

2 packages of brown gravy mix

1 medium onion, sliced

8 oz mushrooms, sliced

¼ teaspoon dried thyme 

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions 

Confine the seasonings and mix with the beef.

Form into two equal patties.

Place a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the beef patties and brown on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Add the onion and the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the powdered gravy mix, thyme, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Stir until thickened. Lower the heat and return the patties to the skillet, cover the pan, and simmer the patties until tender, about 10 minutes.

Serve the patties and gravy with mashed potatoes and spinach.

Saute until translucent. 

In a large bowl, add all of the remaining steak ingredients and the sautéed onion. Mix until incorporated. Shape into 2 patties. 

Using the same skillet, heat the pan and add the steaks. After one side gets brown, approximately 5 minutes, turn them over and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the internal steak temp reaches 145 degrees. Remove the steak patties to a plate.

4 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water for a slurry

1/4 teaspoon  garlic powder

½ onion diced

1¼ cups beef stock

½ tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Gravy Directions 

In the skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and

onion. Cook for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent, and add the mushrooms. Brown the mushrooms for 8-10 minutes and add the seasonings, beef stock, browning sauce, and Dijon mustard. Mix well, and once it comes to a slow boil, mix in the slurry (cornstarch and water mixed well). This will thicken the gravy.

Add the steaks and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
