Background and History
Salisbury steak is a classic American dish with roots dating back to the late 19th century. It was invented by Dr. James Salisbury, a physician who recommended a diet heavy in lean meat to his patients for health reasons. Salisbury steak traditionally consists of seasoned ground beef patties served with gravy, and it has remained a beloved comfort food over the years. This slow cooker version offers a convenient twist on the traditional recipe.
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Optional: sliced mushrooms, for garnish
Optional: chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Serves
4-6
Preparation Time
15 minutes
Cooking Time
4-6 hours on low heat
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the patties in the slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, whisk together beef broth and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture over the patties in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, or until the patties are cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.
If desired, thicken the gravy by transferring it to a saucepan and simmering over medium heat until thickened.
Serve the Salisbury steak patties hot, topped with the gravy. Garnish with sliced mushrooms and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
