Salisbury Steak

2 servings

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter

Steak
12 oz lean ground beef
1 tablespoon steak sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic minced
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water

Gravy
1/2 large onion sliced
4 oz sliced mushrooms
¼ cup flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups beef broth
Salt to taste
Ground pepper to taste

Directions

Crumble all the steak ingredients into a medium bowl.
Once well combined, form the mixture into two patties.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet and add the patties.

Cook until a brown crust forms, then turn the patties over and repeat. Remove the patties from the skillet before they are completely cooked through.

Add onion slices and mushrooms to the drippings in the skillet and saute until tender. Then remove to a bowl and set aside.

Turn the heat to low and prepare the gravy by melting butter into the skillet and sprinkling in flour. Continue to whisk this mixture for 5 minutes.
Slowly add the beef broth to the mixture while continuing to stir.

Once all beef broth has been added return the onion, mushrooms, and patties to the skillet. Let simmer until patties are cooked through and gravy has thickened about 10 minutes.
Serve the cooked patties with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable.
