3 Videos | Photo: Salisbury Steaks with French Onion Gravy Recipe
Ingredients
- EVOO for liberal drizzling
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 large onions, sliced
- Salt and coarse black pepper
- Ground thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 pieces stale white bread, crust trimmed
- Milk or half-n-half
- About 1 2/3 pounds ground sirloin
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons grated onion
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup beef stock
- Watercress, for garnish, optional
Directions
Place a drizzle of EVOO in a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter into the oil. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, a little ground thyme and add the bay. Caramelize the onions until very soft and sweet and light golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, soak the bread in milk or half-n-half. Place the meat in a bowl and add the egg. Squeeze out the bread and crumble into crumbs as you add to the bowl. Add the Worcestershire and grated onion to the beef. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and combine. Form into 4 (1-inch thick) oval loaves. Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the loaves and cook until cooked through, about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer the meat to a plate.
Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions, stir 1 minute. Deglaze the pan you cooked the meat in with the wine and pour into the onions. Add the beef stock and thicken a moment. Serve the gravy over the Salisbury steaks. Garnish with a little watercress, if desired.

Very enjoyable. Quick, easy, not an overwhelming amount of ingredients, inexpensive to make if you keep basics around the house. Also, easy to modify if you're missing an ingredient or two. The 1st time I made it, I didn't have any wine or worcestershire handy so I skipped the wine and added about a tablespoon of soy sauce to the beef instead of worcestershire. I also added finely minced bell pepper to my ground beef. Love the flavor it gives. Best as written but still delicious if you need to sub. Everyone loves it either way.

This is such a good recipe! My boyfriend went for seconds and made me keep the leftovers all for him. The gravy has a nice bite from the wine (I used Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc. I ended up forming the ground beef into a "meatloaf" and baked it instead of cooking the separate steaks. I also made the gruyere smashed potatoes which were excellent with this! Will def make this again!

This was some thing different to do with our hamburger for my family, and I will be making this again! I didn't follow the recipe exactly, I added different seasons to my meat such as garlic salt, did not use wine but instead used more broth and I had added milk and butter to my gravy. Taste test and adjust it to your likes and you will enjoy this meal!! :
