This recipe calls for thickened cream of mushroom soup to serve as your gravy base. You can enhance it further by adding sautéed mushrooms.

How to Cook Salisbury Steak
Step 1
Prepare Knorr Cream of Mushroom Soup according to package directions. Lessen the required amount of water to thicken the soup into a saucy consistency. Set aside.
Step 2
Make the patties: Combine beef, onions, garlic, Knorr Beef Cube, flour, egg, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Shape mixture into balls, then flatten into 1½-inch-thick patties. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a pan over medium flame. Fry beef patties until cooked through. Flip to brown on both sides. Serve hot with prepared mushroom sauce.
This simple steak recipe is proof that you don’t have to splurge on ribeye steaks to enjoy a special Christmas dinner. If you want your patties crispier on the outside, take cues from Japanese hambāgu by adding breadcrumbs to the mixture. They offer extra crunch and browning while the beef stays juicy in the center. Save your leftovers for breakfast the next day and enjoy them loco moco-style with a runny fried egg on top. So many possibilities!
