Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup finely minced onion

1 large egg, beaten

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

2 cups beef broth

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 cup cold water

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, minced onion, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a fork to mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is homogeneous.

    Form Patties: Shape the beef mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties, each about 1-inch thick. Press gently in the center of each patty to create a slight indentation; this technique helps them cook evenly and retain their shapes.

      Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the patties to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side until they achieve a rich brown color and are cooked through. Transfer the patties to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep them warm.

        Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, pour in the beef broth while scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan and incorporate the delicious brown bits from the patties. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with the cold water to make a smooth slurry. Gradually whisk this slurry into the simmering broth.

          Add Flavor: Stir in the soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

            Return Patties to Skillet: Gently reintroduce the cooked patties back into the skillet with the flavorful gravy. Spoon some of the gravy over the top of each patty and let them simmer together for an additional 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors beautifully.

              Serve: Arrange the Salisbury steaks on a serving platter, generously spooning the gravy over the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot alongside creamy mashed potatoes, vibrant steamed vegetables, or a crisp, refreshing salad for a delightful and comforting meal.
