Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 large egg
⅓ cup bread crumbs
¼ cup grated onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion thinly sliced
8 ounces sliced white mushrooms

Gravy

2 cups water
⅓ cup red wine
⅓ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon beef base
2 garlic cloves minced
4 tablespoons corn starch
¼ cup cold water

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, grated onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix together until combined.
Form 8 patties, and set aside on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, quickly sear the outside of the patties, 2 or 3 at a time. (Don't cook them all the way through.) Remove from skillet and transfer to bottom of Instant Pot.
When all patties have been browned, add onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Saute until onions are tender, about 3-5 minutes. Pour onion mixture on top of patties in Instant Pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, add all gravy ingredients except corn starch and 4 tablespoons water. Whisk together. Pour over patties in the Instant Pot.
Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button or dial to select 7 minutes on High Pressure. The pot will take several minutes to come to pressure.
When the cook cycle has finished, turn off the pot and let it sit undisturbed for 10 minutes (10 minute natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining steam/pressure. When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid.
Remove patties to a plate and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl add cornstarch and water and whisk to combine. Pour into gravy mixture in Instant Pot and whisk to incorporate. The onions will also break down while you whisk which will help thicken the gravy as well.
Serve salisbury steak smothered in plenty of gravy!

Notes

Beef Base - You can also use beef broth instead of water. I use the Better than Bouillon brand.
Mandoline - For best results, use a mandoline slicer to slice the onions super thin. This will ensure that they caramelize properly into the gravy.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave.
Freezer Directions: Freeze uncooked patties flat on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer container for up to a month. Follow remaining recipe instructions and add patties when ready to use.
