What is Salisbury Steak?

Salisbury steak originates in the United States and is a popular dish made with seasoned ground beef patties that are smothered in gravy with mushrooms (often accompanied by caramelized onions). Salisbury got its name from an American physician, Dr. J. H. Salisbury. He encouraged a meat-centered diet and this dish was named in his honor.

We love ground beef recipes like our popular Meatloaf or this easy Beef Chili. If you have some ground beef and don’t know what to do with it, this Salisbury Steak is a must-try. Homemade Salisbury Steak is perfect for busy weeknights. It comes together quickly, is inexpensive to make, uses pantry staples and is flavor-packed.

How to Make Salisbury Steak?

BEEF PATTIES: In a large bowl, combine beef patty ingredients. Shape into 4 oval or round patties flattening the center for even cookies. Cook until golden brown on both sides, remove from the skillet. (NOTE: You want to use lean beef, 90% works best.)
MUSHROOMS: Sauté ½ the onion in the same skillet just until tender, then stir in garlic and butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned, mixing frequently. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
GRAVY: In a bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients for the gravy and add to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until gravy thickens. Return the patties back to the pan, cover with mushroom gravy and cook just until patties are heated through.

What Can I Serve Salisbury Steak With?

Though you can serve the beef patties in gravy over rice or even egg noodles, the most classic side dish is mashed potatoes. You can add a vegetable to the side and any of these will work great:

green beans
baked asparagus
easy roasted vegetables
