Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 4–6 Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 onion, halved and sliced
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Liquid and Thickening Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently form the mixture into 4 uniform patties without overworking the meat.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers and becomes glossy.
- Sear patties in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust develops. Transfer browned patties to a separate plate.
- Pierce potatoes multiple times with a fork and microwave for 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then dice into consistent bite-sized cubes.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and sauté onions until translucent and edges become slightly caramelized, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Introduce potato cubes into the skillet and pour broth over the vegetables, ensuring even distribution.
- Simmer potatoes for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach a tender but firm consistency.
- Create sauce by whisking together broth, cornstarch, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, ketchup, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-integrated.
- Pour sauce into skillet and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
- Return browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until patties are fully cooked through.
Notes
- Customize Patties Mix ground beef gently to avoid tough meat, ensuring a tender and juicy Salisbury steak.
- Microwave Potato Hack Pierce potatoes thoroughly to prevent steam buildup and potential explosions during microwaving.
- Prevent Burning Use medium-high heat and avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve perfect browning without scorching.
- Sauce Thickening Technique Whisk cornstarch mixture smoothly to prevent lumps and create a silky, glossy sauce for the dish.
