Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (choose a lean mix)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Gravy Ingredients

1 tbsp oil (for browning patties)
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup beef broth
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp natural gelling agent
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Patties: Mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, egg, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper evenly in a large bowl. Shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties about the size of your palm.
Brown the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a light drizzle of oil. Brown each patty on both sides until a golden crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove patties and set aside.
Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, sauté finely chopped onions until soft. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), beef broth, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well and sprinkle in the natural gelling agent to thicken the gravy, whisking continuously until smooth.
Simmer the Patties in Gravy: Return the patties to the skillet and spoon gravy over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and patties to cook through.
Serve and Enjoy: Plate the Salisbury Steak, garnish as desired, and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Do not overwork the meat to keep patties tender and juicy.
Use a cast-iron skillet for a better sear and enhanced flavor.
Let patties rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
Add natural gelling agent gradually to avoid lumps and achieve perfect gravy thickness.
Season in layers and adjust seasoning during cooking for balanced flavors.
