Mississippi-Style Salisbury Steak is comfort food at its best—juicy beef patties simmered in a ranch-seasoned, pepperoncini-spiked gravy. Quick enough for weeknights, freezer-friendly, and absolutely satisfying.
Combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, and salt. Shape the mixture into 4 patties, about 6 oz each, and flatten them to ¾ inch thick with a shallow indentation in the center.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown patties 2–3 minutes per side; set aside.
Sauté onion until softened (6 minutes), then add pepperoncini and cook 2 more minutes.
Whisk the beef stock, ranch mix, and au jus; pour into the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
Return patties to skillet and cook until 165°F, about 5 minutes, flipping once.
Stir in cornstarch slurry if a thicker gravy is desired; simmer 1 minute.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
Use a fish spatula for flipping the patties without breaking them apart.
For a deeper flavor, let the onions cook a few minutes longer until golden and caramelized.
Always check the patties with a digital thermometer for perfect doneness.
This recipe doubles easily; freeze half for a no-fuss dinner later.
