Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Mixture
1. Place ground beef in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add breadcrumbs and egg.
3. Add grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Mix gently until all ingredients are combined.
5. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
6. Divide the mixture into 6–8 equal portions.
7. Shape each portion into an oval-shaped steak, approximately ¾ inch thick.
Step 2: Brown the Patties
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Place the beef patties in the skillet.
3. Brown for approximately 2–3 minutes on each side.
4. The patties do not need to cook completely at this stage.
5. Transfer them carefully to a plate.
Browning adds a delicious roasted flavor and helps develop a rich gravy.
Step 3: Prepare the Mushroom Gravy
1. Add sliced mushrooms to the same skillet.
2. Add butter and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
3. Add condensed beef consommé.
4. Add the second can of consommé or beef broth.
5. Sprinkle in onion soup mix and brown gravy mix.
6. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
7. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Slow Cooker
1. Arrange the browned beef patties in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Scatter sliced mushrooms over the patties.
3. Pour the prepared gravy mixture evenly over the beef.
4. Add butter for extra richness.
5. Gently spoon some gravy over the patties.
6. Cover with the slow cooker lid.
Step 5: Slow Cook
Cook using either method:
– LOW: 5–6 hours.
– HIGH: 3–4 hours.
Cook until the beef patties are fully cooked and tender. Ground beef should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Avoid repeatedly opening the slow cooker because it releases heat and increases cooking time.
Step 6: Thicken the Gravy
1. Carefully remove the cooked patties.
2. Stir the gravy gently.
3. If the gravy is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water.
4. Stir this mixture into the gravy.
5. Cover and cook on HIGH for another 10–15 minutes.
6. Return the patties to the slow cooker.
7. Spoon the thick mushroom gravy over them.
Step 7: Prepare the Egg Noodles
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add egg noodles.
3. Cook according to package instructions until tender.
4. Drain thoroughly.
5. Toss with butter, salt, and black pepper.
6. Place noodles in serving bowls.
7. Add Salisbury steak patties on top.
8. Spoon plenty of mushroom gravy over everything.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
