Ingredients

FOR THE SALISBURY STEAKS

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 is best
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs unseasoned
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup or tomato sauce - use sriracha for a spicier version
  • 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder or more, as desired
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder or use 3 cloves fresh chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 beef bouillon cube crumbled into powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

FOR THE GRAVY

  • 1 medium white or yellow onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

FOR THE SALISBURY STEAKS

  • To a large bowl, add the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, ketchup, ancho powder, garlic, onion powder, and crumbled bouillon cube. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Hand mix the ingredients, but do not overmix or the meat can become mealy. Form the meat into 4 equal sized patties. Make them steak shaped if you’d like.
  • Dust the steak patties with flour on all sides.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan and brown the steak patties for 2-3 minutes per side. They won’t be cooked all the way through, depending on the thickness.
  • Remove the steak patties and set them aside on a plate for now.

FOR THE ANCHO GRAVY

  • Add the sliced onions to the hot pan and cook for 5 minutes soften them up.
  • Stir in the flour and ancho powder, then stir in the beef stock a bit at a time.
  • Reduce heat and simmer a couple minutes, stirring, until the gravy thickens up slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return the Salisbury steaks to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked through to your liking.
  • Serve the steaks smothered in gravy.
