Description
Salisbury Steak Meatballs bring all the cozy, nostalgic flavors of the classic dish in a fun, bite-sized version. Juicy meatballs are simmered in a rich onion gravy and served over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice for the ultimate comfort meal.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for gravy)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon oil (for searing)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Shape into 1 to 1.5-inch meatballs using hands or a cookie scoop.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté until golden, about 6-8 minutes.
5. Sprinkle flour over the onions/mushrooms. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
6. Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
7. Return meatballs to the skillet. Cover and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked.
8. Serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Don’t overmix the meatball mixture; just combine until everything sticks.
You can bake the meatballs at 400°F for 18-20 minutes if you prefer to skip searing.
Use cornstarch instead of flour for a gluten-free version of the gravy.
