In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, minced onion, egg, Dijon, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Shape mixture into four 5¾-inch oblong patties.
1½ pounds lean ground beef, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup minced onion, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Fry the beef patties for 4-6 minutes, flipping once, until browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
1 tablespoon olive oil
To the skillet, add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion, and mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a boil, then return the patties to the skillet and cover it. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
2 cups low-sodium beef broth, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 yellow onion, 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
Turn heat to medium, bringing the skillet mixture to a boil. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water, then stir it into the onion mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thickened, tasting and adjusting seasoning as desired. Pour over the steak patties and serve.
3 tablespoons cornstarch, 3 tablespoons water

Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken in place of the ground beef.
You can use Panko breadcrumbs for a bit more crunch.
I like Dijon mustard in these patties, but you can use whatever mustard you have on hand!
If using chicken or turkey, swap the beef broth for low-sodium chicken broth.
You can use a white or sweet onion in place of the yellow onion.
While I love cremini mushrooms, feel free to use your favorite mushrooms instead.
Turn these into meatballs for a fun variation on the dish!
Make sure to use a large egg in order to ensure that the meat will bind together.
Do not overmix the beef mixture; this will lead to tough steaks.
Fry the patties until cooked through, or 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Use cold water in the cornstarch slurry to prevent it from seizing up!

Storage: Store Salisbury steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
