Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) lean ground beef
Dry Ingredients:
- ½ cup (60 grams) Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- ¼ cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 (1-ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
- 1 (1-ounce) packet dry au jus mix
Liquid and Oil Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) water
- 2 (10.5-ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend lean ground beef with fine bread crumbs and dried onion soup mix, thoroughly incorporating ingredients until well combined.
- Gently form the meat mixture into 8 compact, elongated patties, ensuring uniform thickness around 1/2 inch (1.27 centimeters).
- Lightly dust each meat patty with all-purpose flour, creating a delicate coating that will help seal in moisture and develop a subtle crust during browning.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, allowing the surface to become evenly heated.
- Carefully place floured meat patties into the hot skillet, cooking approximately 2-3 minutes per side until a rich golden-brown exterior develops.
- Transfer browned patties to the slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer without overcrowding.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together condensed cream of chicken soup, powdered au jus mix, and cool water until smooth and well-integrated.
- Gently pour the soup mixture over the meat patties, ensuring each piece is partially covered with the savory liquid.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set to low temperature, allowing the Salisbury steak to simmer and tenderize for 4-5 hours.
- Once cooking time concludes, verify internal meat temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption, and serve hot with accompanying side dishes.
Notes
- Elevate your comfort food game with this melt-in-your-mouth Salisbury steak that transforms simple ingredients into a restaurant-worthy meal.
- Coating the patties in flour creates a delicate crust that helps seal in juices and prevents them from falling apart during cooking.
- Browning the meat before slow cooking develops rich, deep flavors that make this dish more complex and satisfying.
- Using cream of chicken soup and au jus mix creates a silky, savory gravy that perfectly complements the beef patties.
- Slow cooking allows the meat to become incredibly tender while letting the flavors meld together beautifully, making dinner prep a breeze.
