Description

Juicy Salisbury steak patties simmered in a rich French onion gravy and finished with melty provolone and Parmesan for the ultimate comfort-food dinner.


Ingredients

Salisbury Steaks

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (80–85% lean)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup Panko crumbs
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

For Searing

  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp butter

French Onion Gravy

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 large sweet onions, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 5 thin slices provolone cheese


Instructions

  1. Mix ground beef, egg, Panko, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Shape into 5 patties.
  2. Heat vegetable oil and butter in a skillet. Sear patties 3–4 minutes per side; remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 4 tbsp butter. Add sliced onions and sugar; cook 10–15 minutes until caramelized.
  4. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Gradually add beef broth, tomato paste, and thyme. Simmer until thickened.
  5. Return patties to the skillet and cook 10–12 minutes on low.
  6. Top each patty with Parmesan and a slice of provolone. Cover to melt, then serve with extra gravy.

Notes

  • Don’t rush the onions—slow caramelizing gives the best flavor.
  • For extra richness, use half beef broth and half stock concentrate.
  • Swap provolone for Swiss or gruyere for a classic French onion taste.
  • Add mushrooms for more depth and texture.
