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.
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.
