Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, and half of the onion soup mix packet. Mix thoroughly using hands until well incorporated.
- Shape the beef mixture into 4-6 oval-shaped patties, ensuring they are evenly sized and compact. Season each patty with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove patties and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add diced potatoes. Sprinkle remaining onion soup mix over potatoes and stir to coat evenly. Cook potatoes for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to crisp and turn golden.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet with potatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until mushrooms begin to release their moisture.
- Pour beef broth into the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Return beef patties to the skillet, nestling them among the potatoes and mushrooms. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and ensuring patties are cooked through.
- Check that beef patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Potatoes should be tender and golden.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
Tips
- Choose Quality Beef: Opt for ground beef with a good fat content (around 80/20) for juicy and flavorful patties. Leaner beef can result in drier steaks.
- Don’t Skip the Resting: Allow the beef patties to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps the juices redistribute, making them even more tender and flavorful.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots to the skillet for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh sliced mushrooms will enhance the dish's flavor and texture compared to canned ones.
- Check for Doneness: Ensure the beef patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption. A meat thermometer is a handy tool for this.
- Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning of the potatoes and patties to your liking. A pinch of garlic powder or fresh herbs can elevate the flavors even more.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your Salisbury Steak Potato Skillet with a crisp salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
