Ingredients and Preparation

To make Salisbury Steak and Potato Skillet, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 white onion, halved and sliced
• 4-6 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
• 3 cups beef broth, divided
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, divided
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get started with the preparation:

1. Forming the Patties: In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, then shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
2. Browning the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties on each side until they are cooked through, then remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Preparing the Potatoes: While the patties are cooking, pierce each potato with a fork a few times, then microwave them for 5 minutes. This will help reduce the cooking time in the skillet. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, chop them into 1 1/2 inch pieces.
4. Cooking the Onions: In the same skillet you used to brown the beef patties, add the sliced onions. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
5. Adding Potatoes and Broth: Add the chopped potatoes and 2 cups of beef broth to the skillet with the onions. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook until the potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes.
6. Making the Gravy: In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining 1 cup of beef broth, ketchup, remaining Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, thyme, and cornstarch. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the potatoes and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens.
7. Finishing Touches: Reduce the heat to low, then return the beef patties to the skillet. Let them cook in the gravy until they are heated through. Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper, then serve and enjoy!
