Instructions
In a medium-sized pot add potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt and cover with water.
Cover pot and bring water to a boil. When water comes to a boil, take lid off and reduce heat to medium-low until potatoes are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
While potatoes cook, in a medium-sized bowl combine ground sirloin, Worcestershire sauce, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper and garlic powder until thoroughly combined.
Form meat mixture into 8-10 large, oval patties, approximately, 1-inch thick.
Heat 1 TBS olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
Add meat patties into the hot skillet and cook 6 minutes on each side until meat is evenly caramelized on the outside and juices run clear.
Remove meat, place on a serving platter and cover with loose tin foil to keep warm.
To the hot skillet, add remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil.
When oil is hot, add mushrooms and ½ teaspoon salt. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, 3-5 minutes.
Add flour to the mushrooms and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in beef broth and let sauce thicken, about 2 minutes more.
While sauce thickens, drain potatoes in a colander and return the potatoes to the pot.
Using a potato masher smash potatoes with heavy cream. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
To serve, pour gravy over Salisbury steak. Serve with potatoes.
