Salisbury Steak Meatballs are a comforting dish featuring tender ground beef meatballs cooked in a rich mushroom and beef broth gravy. This recipe combines classic flavors with simple ingredients to create a hearty and satisfying meal perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Gravy

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. This mixture will form the base of your meatballs, providing both flavor and texture.
  2. Shape and Brown the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the meatballs on all sides until they develop a nice crust. This step locks in flavor and creates a savory base for the gravy.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Add Broth: Once the meatballs are browned, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms start to soften, then pour in the beef broth, stirring to combine and deglaze the pan, lifting all the flavorful browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Thicken the Gravy: In a small bowl, create a slurry by mixing the flour with a few tablespoons of cold water to avoid lumps. Stir this slurry into the skillet with meatballs, mushrooms, and broth to thicken the sauce gradually as it simmers.
  5. Simmer Until Cooked Through: Reduce the heat to low and let the meatballs simmer in the gravy for about 20 minutes. This allows the meatballs to cook thoroughly and the flavors to meld together, resulting in a rich, hearty dish.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat but maintain flavor.
  • Breadcrumbs help bind the meatballs and keep them tender.
  • Ensure the slurry is well-mixed to prevent lumps in the gravy.
  • Simmering gently avoids toughening the meatballs.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles for a traditional meal.
