Salisbury steak meatballs are a hearty and savory dish of seasoned beef meatballs simmered in a rich mushroom gravy. Serve them over mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 20 meatballs 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, divided
  • 2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 12 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 2 teaspoons ketchup
  • parsley for garnish
  • mashed potatoes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Combine the ground beef, panko bread crumbs, onion, egg, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until just combined.
  3. Shape mixture into 20 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs.
  4. Add olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Cooking in batches, add half the meatballs to the skillet and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Meatballs will not be fully cooked. Remove the meatballs from the skillet; set aside.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add mushrooms and cook until golden brown. Add flour to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Slowly whisk in beef stock, the remaining 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and 2 teaspoons ketchup. Bring mixture to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Return meatballs to the skillet. Spoon gravy over meatballs. Cover and cook until heated through and meatballs are done (160 degrees F or 72 degrees C), about 5 minutes.
  8. Top the meatballs with chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the meatball mixture to keep them tender.
  • Brown the meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Use a thermometer to check the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F (72°C).
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
