Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of salt

Sauce Ingredients

1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
2 tablespoons tomato paste (natural)
1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined to keep the patties tender. Shape the mixture into oval patties about the size of your palm and place them on a plate.
Brown the Patties: Heat olive oil or vegetable oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until a golden brown crust forms. Transfer the patties to a warm plate and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in beef broth, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and tomato paste (natural). Stir well, scraping up browned bits from the pan to add richness. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent evenly and whisk thoroughly until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Simmer the Patties in Sauce: Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Lower the heat, cover, and let simmer gently for about 15 minutes to allow the patties to absorb the savory sauce and become tender.
Serve Hot: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve Salisbury Steak immediately with your preferred side dishes, spooning extra sauce over the patties for the perfect finish.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep patties tender and avoid a dense texture.
Use a hot skillet to sear patties for a flavorful crust and to lock in juices.
Scrape brown bits from the pan when adding liquids to maximize flavor in the sauce.
Let the patties simmer slowly in the sauce for juicy tenderness and melded flavors.
Add fresh herbs like chopped parsley or thyme just before serving for a fresh aroma and flavor boost.
