Salisbury Steak And Potato Skillet Recipe

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 white onion, halved and sliced
• 4-6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 cups beef broth, divided
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, divided
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the beef patties: In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and shape into four equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef patties on each side until browned, then remove to a plate and set aside.
3. Prepare the potatoes: Pierce potatoes with a fork a few times and microwave for 5 minutes to speed up cooking time. Let cool slightly, then chop into 1-inch pieces.
4. Sauté the onions: Add sliced onions to the same skillet used for the beef. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Cook the potatoes: Add chopped potatoes and 2 cups beef broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes.
6. Make the gravy: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, thyme, and cornstarch. Pour into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
7. Finish the dish: Reduce heat to low, return beef patties to the skillet, and cook until heated through. Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, consider adding chopped mushrooms or green bell peppers to the skillet with the onions.
• To make the dish even heartier, serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
• For a lower-fat version, use lean ground beef and drain excess fat from the skillet after browning the patties.
• If you prefer a thicker gravy, increase the amount of cornstarch used.
• To add a touch of heat, stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes with the gravy.
