Juicy Salisbury steak patties smothered in rich mushroom-onion gravy and served with warm honey-butter croissants for a comforting and satisfying homemade dinner.
12 oz (about 340 g) white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup diced onion
Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 croissants
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, soy sauce and black pepper. Mix gently until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
For the gravy, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onions, season with salt and sauté 5–8 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium, sprinkle in the flour and stir for 3 minutes. Gradually add the beef broth, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove meat mixture from the fridge. Shape into 4 equal oval patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a clean skillet over medium-high heat. Brown patties for 2–3 minutes per side. Pour gravy over the patties, simmer 5 minutes or until fully cooked (internal temperature 70°C/160°F).
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Mix softened butter with honey. Slice croissants, spread honey butter inside, close and warm for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Serve a Salisbury steak patty with plenty of gravy and a warm honey-butter croissant on the side.
Notes
Chilling the patties helps them hold shape and improves texture.
Add a splash of cream or butter to the gravy at the end for extra richness.
You can warm croissants in a skillet if you don’t have an oven.
Use less honey for a milder sweetness in the croissants.
