3. In the same skillet, add mushrooms (if using) and sauté until softened.
4. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine, then gradually add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.

tips to make Salisbury Steak

• Do not overwork the meat when mixing to keep patties tender.
• Brown patties well to get more flavor in the gravy.
• If the gravy is too thick, add a little more beef broth. If it is too thin, simmer a bit longer or mix a small amount of flour with cold water and stir in.
• Use fresh mushrooms for best taste, but canned will work in a pinch.

variation (if any)

• Add a splash of red wine to the gravy for deeper flavor.
• Use a mix of ground beef and ground pork for a richer patty.
• Make it with turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
• Add garlic or herbs like thyme for extra aroma.
