Salisbury Steak with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom-Onion Gravy

Ingredients

For the Salisbury Steaks:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)

• ½ cup breadcrumbs

• 1 large egg

• ¼ cup milk

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)

For the Mushroom-Onion Gravy:

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 cup sliced mushrooms

• 1 small onion, sliced

• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 1½ cups beef broth

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• Salt & pepper, to taste

For Garlic Mashed Potatoes:

• 2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed

• 4 cloves garlic, peeled

• ½ cup milk (warm)

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

1️⃣ Garlic Mashed Potatoes

1. Boil potatoes and garlic cloves in salted water until tender, about 15–20 minutes.

2. Drain and mash with butter and warm milk.

3. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

2️⃣ Salisbury Steaks

1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

2. Shape into 4 oval patties.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned (they’ll finish cooking in the gravy).

3️⃣ Mushroom-Onion Gravy

1. In the same skillet, add butter. Sauté sliced onions and mushrooms until soft, 5–7 minutes.

2. Sprinkle flour over vegetables; stir 1–2 minutes to cook flour.

3. Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.

4. Simmer until gravy thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning.

5. Return Salisbury steaks to the skillet; simmer 5–7 minutes until cooked through.

4️⃣ Serve

• Plate a scoop of garlic mashed potatoes, top with a Salisbury steak, and ladle generous mushroom-onion gravy over the top.

• Optional garnish: chopped parsley.

Tips for Perfection

• Use 80/20 beef for juicy steaks.

• Don’t skip searing — it adds flavor to the gravy.

• Mash potatoes with warm milk for creamy texture.

• Make extra gravy — it disappears fast 😏

If you want, I can give a slow-cooker version where the steaks and gravy cook together for even more tenderness.
