A delightful twist on the classic Salisbury steak, featuring a rich sauce and vibrant vegetables.
Combine the ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Shape the mixture into oval patties of even size.
Make the patties slightly larger than you want them to be, as they will shrink during cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the patties on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties to achieve a good sear.
In the same skillet, sauté the garlic, carrots, and mushrooms until softened.
Add a pinch of salt to help the vegetables release their moisture.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, water, and green beans to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.
Return the patties to the skillet, cover, and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn't reduce too much; add a splash of water if needed.
Serve the patties with the sauce and vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with mashed potatoes or rice to complete the meal.
