The very first time I had Salisbury Steak was in the elementary school cafeteria for lunch. Probably showing my age, but this was a time when the “lunch ladies” actually cooked all of the food right in the school’s kitchen. It was served hot and fresh. Best meals ever. I am not a “gravy” person. It has its place with me and very little at a time. However, this – this Salisbury Steak with Caramelized Onion Gravy I can eat the gravy all by itself.
Through the years, I’m sure I’ve had Salisbury Steak by way of frozen meals or if my parents prepared the dish but I had never made it until I was married for a few years. My husband isn’t a “brown gravy” person – he prefers chicken or turkey gravy so when I make this recipe, it’s a real treat for me. He does enjoy it and even has seconds.
Normally, I like recipes that aren’t so heavy on the prep or cooking time but caramelizing onions is not a quick process. You can’t rush it or you’ll end up with mushy burned onions. Gross. So, let them do their thing in their own time-frame. It’s so worth it.
I also like to cut down on the dishes and extra oil so I tend to brown my beef patties on the grill over pan browning them. You can also use a grill pan or just a skillet if you don’t have a grill.

1) To make gravy: Heat butter in a large sauté pan. Add onions and cook over medium-high heat, until onions start to brown, stirring occasionally. When onions are slightly softened and turning a deep honey brown, add 1/4 cup broth. Reduce heat, cover and continue cooking, adding more broth as needed to prevent caramelized bits at the bottom of the pan from burning. It should take at least 25 to 30 minutes to properly caramelize onions. Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Add wine and reduce by half. Stir in remaining beef broth and tomato paste. Stir in cider vinegar. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
2) To make patties: Mix ground beef, rice, egg yolk, salt, pepper, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, parsley and thyme in a bowl. Shape into 4 oval patties about 3/4-inch thick. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Sear patties about 3 minutes per side, or until a brown crust forms. Pour gravy over patties and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Serve warm with mashed potatoes or noodles. Yield: 4 Servings.
