It’s Valentina with Valentina’s Corner sharing our Traditional Salisbury Steak Recipe.
What is Salisbury Steak?
Salisbury steak originates in the United States and is a popular dish made with seasoned ground beef patties that are smothered in gravy with mushrooms (often accompanied by caramelized onions). Salisbury got its name from an American physician, Dr. J. H. Salisbury. He encouraged a meat-centered diet and this dish was named in his honor.
We love ground beef recipes like our popular Meatloaf or this easy Beef Chili. If you have some ground beef and don’t know what to do with it, this Salisbury Steak is a must-try. Homemade Salisbury Steak is perfect for busy weeknights. It comes together quickly, is inexpensive to make, uses pantry staples and is flavor-packed.
How to Make Salisbury Steak?
- BEEF PATTIES: In a large bowl, combine beef patty ingredients. Shape into 4 oval or round patties flattening the center for even thickness. Cook until golden brown on both sides, remove from the skillet. (NOTE: You want to use lean beef, 90% works best.)
- MUSHROOMS: Sauté ½ the onion in the same skillet just until tender, then stir in garlic and butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned, mixing frequently. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- GRAVY: In a bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients for the gravy and add to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until gravy thickens. Return the patties back to the pan, cover with mushroom gravy and cook just until patties are heated through.
What Can I Serve Salisbury Steak With?
Though you can serve the beef patties in gravy over steamy rice or even egg noodles, the most classic side dish is mashed potatoes. You can add a vegetable to the side and any of these will work great:
- green beans
- baked asparagus
- easy roasted vegetables
Can I Substitute Ground Beef?
This is classically made with ground beef, but this recipe is versatile. You can substitute ground meats that you have on hand. Try ground turkey for a Turkey Salisbury Steak.
Try these other EASY dinner recipes:
- Beef and Broccoli – with the best stir fry sauce
- Philly Cheesesteak – the ‘original’
- Baked Chicken Fajita– one pan and so quick
- 1-Pan Chicken and Mushrooms– perfect flavor combo
You are so in for a treat with this traditional Salisbury Steak Recipe. If you have picky eaters and they don’t like mushrooms, just serve their patties without the mushrooms. For the kiddos, it’s like a juicy hamburger in gravy and they love it!
