These are healthier homemade Salisbury steaks and everyone will  enjoy them.

My easy Salisbury Steak Recipe is a definite homemade comfort food meal. The ground beef steaks aren’t riddled with ingredients we cannot pronounce and the results are mouthwatering!

This tasty recipe delivers it all! We love it because it’s delish, easy, fills us up, freezes well, the reason why they never move out! We are really fine with that, they are awesome!

Enjoy these delicious salisbury steaks over classic mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower. Another great option for an easy side is my Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes. Egg noodles are another great choice to serve with the salisbury steaks.

Easy Salisbury Steak Recipe FAQs

What is the difference between salisbury steak and meatloaf?

Meatloaf recipes will bake in the oven with various toppings. Salisbury steaks are made in a skillet with a brown mushroom gravy. 

How far ahead can I make the steaks?

Feel free to make Salisbury Steak one to two days ahead and keep in the fridge until ready to eat!  Freezing instructions below.

Is there a difference between a Salisbury Steak and a Hamburger Steak?

Technically, a hamburger steak is chop meat and seasoning while a salisbury steak has added bread crumb and eggs. 

Can I freeze the steaks with mushroom gravy?

Freeze Salisbury steaks while they are raw or after they are finished cooking. 

  • To freeze uncooked Salisbury Steaks, place the uncooked steaks on a large baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour. The steaks can then be stacked with wax paper in between each steak. Place in a freezer bag until ready to cook. Make the gravy at this point too. 
  • To freeze prepared steaks and mushroom gravy, place the steaks in a freezer bag with gravy in a single layer. Freeze until ready to reheat.

What mushrooms do I use to make Salisbury Steak?

White button mushrooms and baby portobello mushrooms are awesome in these easy Salisbury Steaks. Use either mushroom or a mix for a great mushroom gravy.

For a tasty side dish, roasted asparagus is easy and tasty! My Granny’s Brown Sugar Carrots are also a delish side dish to the steaks. My kids love roasted broccoli with garlic as a side too!

Another great option is Italian Green Beans from Julie at A Taste of Lizzie, these beans are a perfect pairing with the beef patties. Alyssa from Everyday Maven has a delicious recipe for Garlic Rubbed Roasted Cabbage Steaks that are just delicious with salisbury steaks and mushroom gravy!

Pro Tips to make Salisbury Steaks

  • Saute the onion before adding to the raw meat. This adds a nice flavor to the beef patties. 
  • If you choose to use raw onion, that is fine too, but it’s a slightly more onion flavor.
  • Don’t overwork the meat when forming the patties. This ensures tender meat.
  • Be sure to mix the cornstarch with warm broth to smooth out the cornstarch to thicken the gravy.
  • Lean meat is our first choice for tasty Salisbury Steaks. 
  • Using a fattier cut will add a greasy texture to the gravy which is why lean ground beef is best.

    What a great standby for any day of the week. I haven’t had it in such a long time and the family loves it. The mushroom gravy is one of our favorites. We’re definitely going to have to make this as soon as the weather cools. I’m pinning the recipe.

    I was not familiar with this recipe but I have eaten something similar in Sweden, that obviously had a different name. Very curious to try maing this to see if it reminds me of the flavour of the Swedish dish I had.
