Return browned patties to the skillet with gravy.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 10–15 minutes, until patties are cooked through (internal temp ~160°F / 71°C).
Stir gravy occasionally, spooning over patties to coat evenly.
Step 5: Serve
Place patties on a plate and pour onion gravy over the top.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
Optional: garnish with chopped parsley.
🧠 Tips for Perfect Salisbury Steak
✔ Use a mix of breadcrumbs and milk — keeps patties juicy
