How to Make Salisbury Steak

Again, just 5 easy steps are all you have to follow to make these Salisbury steaks.

Step 1: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain, then mash with butter, hot milk, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Step 2: Roast the Green Beans

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Roast on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-15 minutes until tender and golden.

Step 3: Cook the Salisbury Steaks

Mix the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Shape into 4 oval patties. Brown the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes per side, then set aside.

Step 4: Make the Mushroom Gravy

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions and mushrooms until golden. Add minced garlic, then sprinkle in flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, simmering until the gravy thickens.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

Return the beef patties to the skillet with the gravy and simmer for a few minutes. Plate the mashed potatoes and green beans, top with the Salisbury steak, and spoon the mushroom gravy over everything. Enjoy this hearty, comforting meal!

My Expert Tips

Get the Right Beef: Use 80/20 ground beef for the perfect balance of flavor and tenderness.
Customize the Veggies: Swap out green beans for roasted asparagus or steamed broccoli for variety.
Time-Saver: Prep the patties ahead of time and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook 'em.
Consider Adding Some Extra Flavor: Add a splash of red wine to the gravy for an elevated flavor profile.
