This French Onion Soup Salisbury Steak recipe combines the heartiness of a classic meat dish with the rich, umami flavors of French onion soup. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal perfect for weeknights!
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds extra lean ground beef (85/15 mixture)
- 10.5 ounces French onion soup (do not dilute)
- 2 ounces onion soup mix packet (one packet of seasoning)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cream (can substitute with milk or half-and-half)
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) in preparation for baking.
- Mix the Meat: In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef. Evenly sprinkle the onion soup mix over the beef, then pour the cream on top. Use a large fork or your hands to thoroughly combine the ingredients until the mixture is uniform.
- Form the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into six equal portions and shape each into an oval patty. Lightly dredge both sides of each patty in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
- Sear the Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties in batches to avoid crowding, searing them for about 3 minutes on each side or until a nice crust forms. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare for Baking: Discard any excess fat from the skillet and use a spatula to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return all the seared patties to the skillet and pour the French onion soup over them, ensuring each patty is covered.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly and mingle with the beef juices, creating a delicious gravy.
- Serve: Once baked, serve the Salisbury steak hot, ideally with a side of mashed potatoes or green beans for a complete meal.
