Easy Salisbury Steak Recipe FAQs

What is the difference between salisbury steak and meatloaf?

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.

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.

How to make a delicious Easy Salisbury Steak Recipe:

In a large saute pan, saute diced onion golden in olive oil, about 4-5 minutes. Remove, set aside.
In a large bowl combine ground beef, ½ of the cooked onions, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, salt, and pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients. Don't overmix.
Shape into 6 oval patties, set aside.
Add a little olive oil or use cooking spray into the pan and sear the beef patties on both sides.
Remove the seared beef patties and set aside.
Brown the mushrooms and add in the minced garlic and return the minced onions into the pan.
Add in the beef broth, ketchup, Dijon, Worcestershire Sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk broth and cornstarch until smooth.
Stir broth/cornstarch back into the pan.
Add the salisbury steaks back in to pan.
Let simmer about 10 minutes.
Check seasoning. Reseason salt and pepper if needed.
Serve with your favorite potatoes or egg noodles, enjoy!

Instructions

Salisbury Steaks

In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the diced onions and saute until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove onions and set aside. Remove pan from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, sauteed onion, whole wheat bread crumbs, egg, low-sodium ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
Form the beef mixture into oval shaped loaves. Set aside.
Reheat the large skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray. Sear the salisbury steaks on both sides, interior will no longer be pink. Remove from the heat and set steaks aside.

To make the Gravy

In a large skillet, over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Saute diced onion until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add in minced garlic and saute another minute.
Add in the beef stock, low-sodium ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, to taste.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with some of the beef broth mixture until smooth and no clumps of cornstarch. Add back into the beef stock mixture.
Raise the heat on the pan to medium high and bring the gravy to a low boil.
Reduce heat to low.

Check seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve over mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower or egg noodles.
