Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the patty ingredients and mix with your hands to combine. Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal parts and form them into patties.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil and place the patties in the pan. Sear each patty until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the patties to a plate.
Add the onions and mushrooms to the pan and sauté until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Stir in the flour and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Gradually add the beef broth and increase the temperature to medium-high heat. Add milk, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Allow the gravy to simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add the beef patties to the gravy in the pan, cover with a lid, and simmer over medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes, until patties are cooked through. Serve the Salisbury Steaks with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, pasta or rice. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Recipe makes 4 servings.

Notes
Tips for making the best Salisbury Steak
Cremini (white button), Baby Bella, or even Shitake mushrooms can be used in this recipe. Clean them with a dry cloth and slice them before cooking. They add a meatier flavor and texture to the dish, making the gravy irresistible.
Spoon the gravy over each beef patty when adding them back to the pan. This will keep the patties moist and tender as they continue to cook and allow them to take on the flavors of the gravy.
Season with salt and black pepper before serving to ensure the right balance of flavors. Serve the patties with mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles or pasta and a bright green vegetable for a beautiful, well-balanced plate of food.
