Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, diced onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into oval-shaped patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the beef patties in the skillet.
- Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice brown crust and are cooked to medium doneness (internal temperature of 160°F).
- Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Keep them warm by covering with foil.
- In the same skillet, pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the browned bits for extra flavor.
- Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it reduces slightly and becomes slightly thickened.
- Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to reheat and coat evenly.
- Serve hot, with the pan sauce drizzled over the Salisbury steak. Recommended side dishes include mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
Tips
- Mix Gently: When combining the meat mixture, use a light touch. Overmixing can make your patties tough and dense.
- Create the Perfect Patty: That center indentation isn't just for show! It helps prevent the patties from puffing up and ensures even cooking.
- Temperature is Key: Use a meat thermometer to check that your patties reach 160°F for food safety without overcooking.
- Flavor Boost: For extra depth, consider adding a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or parsley to your meat mixture.
- Sauce Secrets: Take time to scrape those browned bits from the pan - they're packed with incredible flavor that will make your sauce extraordinary.
- Make-Ahead Magic: These patties can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making weeknight cooking a breeze.
- Gluten-Free Guarantee: Double-check all your ingredients, especially Worcestershire sauce, to ensure they're truly gluten-free.
