Ingredients
  

  • For the Salisbury Steaks:
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef 85/15 or 90/10 mix
  • ½ packet Dry French Onion Soup Mix reserve the other half for the gravy
  • cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 large Egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil for searing
  • For the French Onion Gravy:
  • 1 large Yellow Onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Low-Sodium Beef Broth
  • ½ packet Dry French Onion Soup Mix remaining from the steaks
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • Fresh Parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, Panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and half of the French onion soup mix. Use a fork to mix just until combined to keep the meat tender.
  • Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape them into oval patties, about ¾-inch thick. Press a shallow indent into the center of each patty.
  • Sear the Steaks: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. Remove the patties to a plate (they will not be fully cooked through yet).
  • Sauté the Onions: Reduce the heat to medium. Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the sliced yellow onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the onions are softened and beautifully caramelized.
  • Create the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir constantly for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, the remaining half packet of French onion soup mix, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Simmer and Thicken: Return the seared steaks (and any juices from the plate) to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover partially, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
  • Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Notes

  • Tender Meat Tip: Do not overwork the ground beef mixture, or your steaks will turn out dense. Mix lightly!
  • Gravy Consistency: If your gravy is too thick, add an extra splash of beef broth. If it is too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
  • Cheese Lover's Upgrade: Add a slice of Gruyère or Swiss cheese to the top of each steak in the last 2 minutes of simmering and cover the pan to let it melt.
