Method

Salisbury steaks

Make the meat mixture

In a large bowl combine ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined; avoid overworking to keep patties tender.

Shape patties

Divide mixture into 4 equal portions (for smaller servings divide into 3). Form each portion into an oval patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Sear the patties

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. When hot and shimmering, add patties (work in batches if necessary) and sear 3-4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Remove patties to a plate and reserve drippings in the pan.

Mushroom gravy

Cook mushrooms

Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons butter to the same skillet with reserved drippings. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped shallot; cook 4-5 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Make roux and add broth

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over mushrooms and stir to coat, cooking 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Slowly pour in 2 cups beef broth while whisking or stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Scrape browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

Season and simmer

Stir in 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and thyme. Bring gravy to a gentle simmer and allow to thicken, about 4-6 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. If gravy becomes too thin, simmer a few minutes longer; if too thick, add up to 1/4 cup additional broth.

Finish gravy and return patties

Optionally stir in 2 tablespoons heavy cream for a silkier finish. Return the seared patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, cover, and simmer on low 6-8 minutes until patties are cooked through (internal temp ~160°F / 71°C). Keep warm until serving.

Mashed potatoes

Place potato chunks in a medium pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, 12-15 minutes. Drain well and return potatoes to the hot pot to evaporate excess moisture for 1 minute.

Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup milk to the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; adjust to taste. Keep warm until plating.

Savory green beans

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and immediately plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain again.

In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter. Add minced garlic and cook 20-30 seconds until fragrant. Add blanched green beans, toss to coat, and sauté 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and finish with 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice if using.

To serve

Spoon a generous portion of mashed potatoes onto each plate. Place a Salisbury steak alongside and ladle mushroom gravy and mushrooms over the steak (and a little onto the potatoes if desired). Add a serving of savory green beans. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or thyme if desired and serve hot.
