Instructions

Mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, mushrooms, chopped onions, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl until combined.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Fry the patties in a skillet, 5 minutes per side.
Add the broth and sliced onion and mushrooms to the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a bowl then reduce heat to low and cover.
Simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until no longer pink in the center.
Transfer patties to a plate and cover them with foil to keep them warm.
In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and the water. Set aside.
Bring the gravy mixture in the skillet to a boil.
Stir the cornstarch mixture into the gravy mixture and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
Pour over patties and serve.
Garnish with sprig of rosemary if desired.

Notes

Ensure Proper Pattie Thickness: When shaping the ground beef mixture into patties, aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking. Press down slightly on the center of each patty to create a slight indentation, as they tend to puff up during cooking. This helps them cook evenly without becoming too thick or undercooked in the middle.
Let the Patties Rest: After frying the patties, transfer them to a plate and cover them with foil to keep them warm. Allowing the patties to rest for a few minutes not only helps retain their juices but also allows the internal temperature to even out, resulting in juicier and more flavorful Salisbury steak.
Thicken the Gravy Gradually: When thickening the gravy with the cornstarch mixture, add it gradually while stirring continuously. This prevents clumps from forming and ensures a smooth and velvety texture. Adjust the amount of cornstarch mixture based on your desired thickness for the gravy. Remember, it will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
