Salisbury Steak Onion Gravy Bake

These oval beef patties bake in their own onion gravy, which is easier than minding a skillet in batches. Brown them first anyway; the crust keeps the meat from tasting boiled and leaves useful browned bits for the sauce.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs 85% lean ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper divided
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp dry mustard

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 3-quart baking dish with 1 teaspoon of the oil.
  2. Mix the beef, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and shape the mixture into 6 oval patties.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the patties for 2 minutes per side, then arrange them in the dish.
  4. Cook the onions in the same skillet for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and soft.
  5. Sprinkle the flour and mustard over the onions, cook for 1 minute, and gradually stir in the broth, remaining salt and remaining pepper.
  6. Simmer the gravy for 3 minutes, pour it over the patties and cover the dish with foil.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the gravy bubbles and the centers of the patties reach 160°F, then rest for 5 minutes.
