Step 1: Prepare the Salisbury Steak
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.
- Cook Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove patties and set aside.
- Sauté Onion: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Make Gravy: Return the patties to the skillet with the onions. Add beef broth and bring to a simmer. Mix cornstarch and water, then stir into the skillet to thicken the gravy. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2: Make Mashed Potatoes
- Cook Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Mash Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Cook the Cabbage
- Cook Cabbage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced cabbage, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add Liquid: Add water or chicken broth to the pot. Cover and simmer until the cabbage is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Serve
- Plate the Meal: Serve each Salisbury steak with a generous side of mashed potatoes and cooked cabbage. Spoon the onion gravy over the steak and mashed potatoes.
- Garnish (Optional): Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Tips for Success
- Patties: Don’t overmix the beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
- Gravy Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the gravy by adding more cornstarch mixture or beef broth, depending on your preference.
- Potatoes: For creamier mashed potatoes, warm the milk before adding it to the potatoes.
