In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Shape the mixture into oval patties.
Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove patties from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a little more butter or oil if needed and sauté the sliced onions until soft and caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine, cooking for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add water or beef broth to the skillet while stirring, creating a smooth gravy. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Return the patties to the skillet and spoon the onion gravy over them. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to combine flavors.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, topped with the rich onion gravy.
Serving and Storage:
Serve Salisbury steak with onion gravy immediately for the best taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of broth if the gravy has thickened too much.
Tips:
Use ground beef with a slightly higher fat content (80/20) for juicier patties.
Do not overmix the beef to keep the patties tender.
Caramelize the onions slowly for a richer gravy flavor.
Adjust seasoning at the end to taste, especially salt and pepper.
For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the gravy.
