Salisbury Steak

1. Mix the ground beef with breadcrumbs, egg, grated onion, salt and pepper, and shape into oval patties.

2. Brown both sides in hot oil, then remove.

3. Soften the diced onion and sliced mushrooms in the remaining fat.

4. Sprinkle with flour, pour in the beef stock and cook into a gravy.

5. Return the patties and simmer in the gravy until cooked through. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Tip: The grated onion also keeps the patties juicy.
