Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80/20 chuck is perfect. I use organic, grass-fed for best taste)
1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼-½ teaspoon salt (see note)
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter (optional) (If you need more fat for the gravy)
1 small sweet onion (diced into thin strips)
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth (warm (Use a really savory brand or homemade. I use beef broth paste))
fresh parsley (garnish)

Steps

In a large bowl, add ground beef, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, & salt.
Use your hands to gently combine the spices with the beef.
Shape the mixture into 4-6 large patties. (They will puff a little and shrink as they cook, so make them larger than what you want the finished size to be)
Heat a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the burgers on both sides to create a nice "crust" on the burgers.
Remove burgers from skillet and place on a plate. Set aside. (It's ok if the burgers are not fully cooked since they will finishe cooking in the gravy)
Leave 3 Tablespoons of fat in the skillet or butter if you prefer not to use beef fat or need more.
Add onions and saute until tender and golden.
Sprinkle in flour and cook until flour is golden, stirring constantly.
Slowly pour in broth, while stirring continuiousl until smooth.
Bring to a simmer and then add hamburgers back to the skillet.
Simmer until the gravy has thickened and the hamburgers are cooked through.
If needed, season the gravy with salt and black pepper or other desired seasonings if desired. (I never need to)
Serve over mashed potatoes or rice. Garnish with parsley.

I ran out of fresh onions and used onion soup mix as a substitute. It tasted just like the first time I made it. I'm not a fan of most hamburger or Salisbury steak but this is delicious

I have made this recipe twice it taste so good. I like the recipe because there are no eggs/bread in the patties. The recipe is simple yielding a soft and savory Hamberger pattie. This will be my go to for Salisbury Steaks. I did add a few other spices according to my families taste buds. Thank you Ms. Monique.

Great recipe glad your recipe doesn't include a gravy packet, l think homemade gravy is the easiest and tastiest. Love your recipes.

This is one of my favorites. Have made many times. Sometimes I add mushrooms. Mostly just cook as is. So yummy!

Tried this recipe and LOVED IT. Couldn't figure out why my gravy wasn't as dark as yours, but read comment from Cathi, so will try that next time!!!.

If your gravy isn’t dark enough, it’s because you need to let the flour cook longer to make a good roux before adding the broth. Just stir the flour in the pan constantly so it doesn’t burn to get it darker!
