Toss breadcrumbs into a bowl. Grate some onion over them using a box grater. Give everything a quick mix with your fingers and let it sit for a little bit.

Dump all the ingredients for Salisbury steak into the bowl with the prepared breadcrumbs. Use your hands to mix it up until it holds together well and feels a little sticky.
03 -
Split the meat into 5 portions. Press each into a thick oval patty, about 3/4 inch or 1 2/3 cm thick. Be firm so they don’t fall apart.
04 -
Heat up a skillet with some oil on high. Cook one side of your patties for about a minute or until you see it’s browned. Flip carefully, brown the other side, and set them on a plate.
05 -
Add a bit more oil to the skillet if it’s dry. Toss in the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking for a couple of minutes until the onions look a little clear.
06 -
Throw the mushrooms into the pan and stir around for about 2 to 3 minutes, just until they take on a lovely golden color.
07 -
Lower to medium heat and drop in the butter. Once it melts, sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for half a minute.
08 -
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring steadily. Once there aren’t big lumps, whisk the rest of the ingredients needed for the gravy into the mix.
09 -
Place the patties (and their juices!) back into the skillet. Let it all simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring around the patties occasionally. Add water if the gravy looks too thick too fast.

Take the steaks out of the pan. Taste the gravy and season it with salt and pepper if needed. Pour the gravy over the patties when serving—goes great with mashed potato!
