Salisbury Steak with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom-Onion Gravy
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 35 min
Ingredients
For the Salisbury Steak:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (85% lean)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Mushroom-Onion Gravy:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
- 2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup milk (or more for desired creaminess)
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Make the Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- Place chopped potatoes and garlic in a pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain, then mash with butter and milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside, keeping warm.
2. Prepare the Salisbury Steaks
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Shape into 4 oval patties.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties 3–4 minutes per side until nicely seared. Remove patties and set aside.
3. Make the Mushroom-Onion Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Add onions and mushrooms and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5–6 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring to form a roux. Cook 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer until thickened, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, and simmer 5–7 minutes to finish cooking through.
4. Serve
- Plate a scoop of garlic mashed potatoes, top with a Salisbury steak patty, and generously spoon mushroom-onion gravy over the top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips for Perfection
- Don’t overmix the meat—gentle mixing keeps patties tender.
- For extra creamy potatoes, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
- Gravy tip: A splash of heavy cream at the end adds extra richness if you like.
This dish is classic comfort food at its finest: tender, juicy steaks with a luscious mushroom gravy and perfectly creamy garlic mashed potatoes.
I can also make a one-pan, easier version that reduces cleanup while keeping all the flavor intact if you want. Do you want me to do that?
