DIRECTIONS:

1.    If you want caramelized onions in your gravy, start by thin slicing a small onion.

2.    Cook with 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat until nicely brown. About 7-8 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.

3.    Mix 1 pound ground beef with ⅓ cup bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons ketchup,1 teaspoon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.

4.    If not doing the onions, then add ½ teaspoon onion powder.

5.    Divide one pound of hamburger mixture into 3-4 equal portions.

6.    A quarter-size indent in the middle will help prevent puffing up of the patties and make cooking evener.

7.    Place steak patties in a large frying pan with a teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat.

8.    Flip about every 5-6 minutes until an internal temperature of about 165°.

9.    About 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness, the pan, and your burners.

10.Whisk 4 tablespoons flour with 1 cup beef broth.

11.Remove the Salisbury steak to a plate and lightly tent.

12. Pour out most of the liquid, leaving about 3-4 tablespoons of liquid. Allow the pan to cool some.

13.  Add 1 cup beef broth and bring to a light boil over medium heat.

14.  Slowly add the flour-broth mixture while continuing to whisk.

15.Add 1 teaspoon ketchup and ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.

18. If using, add caramelized onions to the gravy and mix well.
