Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan (if using), egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then shape into 4–6 patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties for 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat remaining olive oil. Sauté mushrooms and onions for 5 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Pour in beef broth, scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and flour slurry, simmering for 5–7 minutes until gravy thickens.
Return patties to the skillet, spooning gravy over them. Cover and simmer on low for 10 minutes until cooked through.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
For vegetarian Salisbury steak, substitute lentil or mushroom patties and vegetable broth.
Use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for a dairy-free option.
Baking option: cook patties at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, then simmer in gravy.
