Instructions
Sauté the mushrooms and soak the bread crumbs - Add the mushrooms to a dry skillet and salt generously. Sauté until the mushrooms have given up all of their liquid, and then continue cooking until the liquid has completely evaporated. Remove mushrooms from the skillet and set aside. The breadcrumbs should chopped up into a small (⅛ - ¼ inch) dice. Put the diced breadcrumbs in a small bowl and stir in 2 T of milk. Let it soak.
Form the steak patties - In a large bowl combine the 1 lb. of ground beef, 1 cup of milk-soaked breadcrumbs, Spice Mill Rosemary and Garlic seasoning, 1 egg, 1 T ketchup, 2 t Dijon, 2 t Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic and salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties about ¾ inch thick.
Brown the steak patties - Heat oil in the same skillet you used to sauté the mushrooms. Add the steak patties and cook until nicely browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Cook the onions and mushrooms - Add the 1/2 chopped onion to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and stir to combine.
Create the sauce - Turn down the heat and add the butter. Stir to melt. Add 2 T flour and whisk until combined. Gradually pour in 1 1/2 cup beef stock, the ketchup and the Worcestershire sauce, whisking continuously.
Finish the steaks - Bring to a simmer and add the steaks back to the skillet. Cover and cook for anther 5 minutes until the steaks are cooked through.
Serve - Serve Salisbury steaks with gravy over mashed potatoes and sprinkle with parsley.
