- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:

Prepare the Patties:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Shape the mixture into 6 patties.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove them from the pan and set aside, keeping them warm.
-
Make the Mushroom Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt.
- Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms, and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually pour in the milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Finish Cooking:
- Return the cooked patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce.
- Allow the patties to cook in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are heated through.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
-
Serve:
- Sprinkle the Salisbury steaks with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
