Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground sirloin, plain breadcrumbs, half of the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, then shape the mixture into 4 patties, each approximately ¾ inch thick.
2
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden-brown crust. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside, making sure to keep the pan drippings.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 cup of beef broth until smooth. Set aside.
4
To the same skillet with the reserved drippings, add the remaining chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are just softened. Don't forget to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
5
Pour in the remaining 1 cup of beef broth, followed by the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. Stir to combine.
6
Gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture and bring the gravy to a boil. Allow it to cook for about 1 minute to thicken before reducing the heat to low.
7
Return the burger patties to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them, and let them simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes until heated through.
8
Serve the Salisbury steak patties on hamburger buns and generously drizzle with the rich mushroom gravy.
