It seems I’m always taking you guys to places you don’t want to go. Let’s think back, we’ve visited the musty halls of homemade hamburger helper, meatloaf, cream of mushroom soup, and now salisbury steak.
I’m sorry, we keep traveling back in time to school cafeteria land, but this salisbury steak is just. so. damn. good.
But Jaxx, I hate salisbury steak! I know you do. Well, you think you do.
My niece came to visit and I said I was making salisbury steak. “But Uncle Jaxx, I hate salisbury steak.” Sure you do little grasshopper. She took a bite and then hearts and unicorns began swirling around her head. She goes home, tells my sister about this “best ever” salisbury steak. My sister visits and says, “All I hear about is Uncle Jaxx’s salisbury steak. Will you make me salisbury steak? I hate salisbury steak. Will you make it?” Done. Next thing you know, hearts and unicorns are swirling around her head.
See what’s happening here? I’m turning hate into love. And you can too!
Forget the cafeteria lady plopping who knows what on your plate. This is different. It’s very tender, almost too tender, if that can happen. I believe it’s the egg yolks. I leave out the whites and only use that fatty yellow goodness.
Also, I either buy my ground beef from a quality market (no gristle) or I grind my own with my KitchenAid
Let’s dooo it!
SALISBURY STEAK
MEAT INGREDIENTS
1 pound of ground beef (80/20)
1/3 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons of ketchup
2 tablespoons of mustard
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire
pinch of cayenne
2 large egg yolks
Salt and Pepper
4 tablespoons of butter or oil
GRAVY INGREDIENTS
2 cups of beef broth
1.5 tablespoons of corn starch
1 onion chopped
1 cup or more of mushrooms chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
1 tablespoons of ketchup
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS
Mix all the meat ingredients together and form oval patties. Brown each patty on both sides in butter or oil. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add your mushrooms and onions and sauté. Add 1.5 cups of the beef broth to the mushrooms and onions, reserving 1/2 cup of beef broth. Add Worcestershire, ketchup, and parsley. Mix together.
Combine your reserved beef broth to the cornstarch to make a slurry the add it slowly to your mixture. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add your meat patties, simmer for 15-20 minutes or until done. Time will depend on the size of your patties.
**NOTE: The only thing I want to add here is watch out for the hearts and don’t trust unicorns. Just kidding. No, be very easy when browning the patties. When I said tender I meant it. They will break very easily when handling so be careful.

And of course, to see it in action:
I made this and the patties were beyond tender…to the point they completely fell apart as I tried to remove them from the gravy. I went ahead and made a “salisbury steak gravy” to serve over mashed potatoes. The taste was good but I wouldn’t use this recipe to make salisbury steak again.
They are very tender and you’ve got to handle with care, for sure. Once they cook, they do firm up in the patty form. You could leave out one or both of the egg yolks to make them firmer.
Delicious comfort food here! Yum!
REAL comfort food! Thank you for sharing this with us at the Homestead Blog Hop!

Salisbury steak was always one of those things that I heard about but never ate. Can’t wait to try your grown-up version. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
It looks absolutely delicious, thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party. Happy 2018!
Thanks for checking it out Teresa!
We are having the most horrible cold snap here, and believe me: I am breaking out all my best comfort food recipes to get through it. This Salisbury steak is making my mouth water, so I can’t wait to give it a try!
Go for it Michelle…it’ll get you through!
I haven’t had Salisbury steak in years. I need to make it. Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
It’s way too cold to venture outside so I’ll stay in and cozy up to a plate of this stick to your ribs meal.
I think that sounds delicious! I love anything with red meat and mushrooms.
This sounds delicious and I like how you turned hate into love 🙂
Thanks for sharing it with us at Fiesta Friday! Happy 2018!
Who knew it was that easy? Maybe if it was passed around at those protests or terrorists, everyone would stop the hate, eat the food, and hold hands afterwards!
Sure worth a try right? 🙂
This looks delicious! thank you so much for sharing with us at Whisk It Wednesday link party! Pinned and shared!
Sound so good! I will be making this tonight, I was planning salisbury steak anyway. I normally just put my patties in the oven and cook them, then add them to the gravy. I can’t wait to try your recipe I usually only use ground round patties from the store. Thanks for the new recipe!
Oh boy! Let me know what you think!
Salisbury steak is really hard to make appealing but you have managed to do it. It looks like a flavourful alternative to the traditional recipes.
Thanks Leanna! It’s not very appealing, is it? For me it’s old memories of a hunk of gross “meat”. This is so good though!
It looks and sounds delicious. Just like when I was a kid! Thanks for joining Delicious Dishes Recipe Party this week. Hope you come back next week!
Funny how salisbury steak has the ability to take you right back in time. Thanks Lois, I will absolutely return next week.
Oh this takes me back! One of my childhood faves – thanks for sharing with Awesome Life Friday. 🙂
This looks so inviting! I bet this tastes delicious!! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, so tender, so delicious, you gotta try this Jhuls! Thanks for taking a look!
Looks pretty darned good to me! And it all sounds quite satisfying!! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
My hubby loves salisbury steak so much he will even buy those frozen dinners for a Saturday lunch treat to himself. lol. Your’s looks especially yummy!
If he loves the frozen dinner ones, he’ll flip for this one! And, you can freeze it in a meal prep tray as well, with some mash and peas or whatever they put in them now. I do remember a bit of dessert too? Like apple crumble or something?
Oh, this looks yummy! One of my favorite ways to eat hamburger is with gravy, so I know I would love your recipe. Will try making this 🙂 Pinned.
I love everything with gravy!
Now this sounds totally delicious and yummy…Now you have made me totally hungry 🙂

Salisbury steak for breakfast….that can happen. A fried egg on top. Yes! Now you got me hungry!
Looks good! I wonder how it would hold up with a vegetarian steak…
Not sure, like a store bought thing or homemade? (If homemade I would love for you to tell me about it.)
I would imagine store bought would hold up pretty well, now that I’m thinking about it. If you look up through the comments, I replied on how we make our vegetarian “steaks” with this and it turns out very delicious.
It would definitely be store bought – there’s a great little market near me that sells lots of vegan and vegetarian fare, and they have steaks and roasts and such. Thanks for the link to the vegetarian “steaks” – I’ll definitely have to try that.
If you give it a try with the vegie steak I would love to hear how it turns out!
I’ll keep you posted!
I’ve never heard of Salisbury Steak before, but your version sounds delicious! And I love the idea of unicorns swirling – a lovely image 😀 Thanks for linking up with #CookBlogShare!
Thanks for checking it out!
Looks delicious! Pinned and stumbled (MostlyBlogging StumbleUpon group)
Thanks for that!
Oh my! This looks and sounds so good! It would definitely be a hit with this family! #CookBlogShare
You’ll need to keep me updated if you try it!
Looks really yumm! I do not eat steak yet, the colour looks so delicious.

That looks so amazing! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner Link up –
Honestly, I’ve always loved Salisbury Steak – it’s one of my favourite comfort foods. Your recipe for it sounds delicious! Love the addition of the mushrooms. Thank you so much for sharing with us at Hearth and Soul.
Then you certainly have to try this! You’ll love it!
Thanks for coming over!
Other than making this recipe with venison (the only ground meat we eat), I made the recipe just as written. The only change I will make is to double the recipe! No leftovers; everyone loved it! Throwing away all of my other Salisbury steak recipes. We also made this, placed in a 9×13 casserole with gravy on and froze as life got in the way. Reheated tonight—so, I am making several of these to freeze for “Take Them a Meal”. Thank you for sharing !!
I’m so glad you and your family loved it!
We’ve thought about doubling and freezing as well but never have. Glad to hear it works well! Thanks so much for checking me out and letting me know how you like it.
Like it? We didn’t like it! WE LOVED IT!!! Like one of our new FAVORITE RECIPES!!! Can’t wait to try your reuben sandwich. Making 4 corned beef briskets for St. Patty’s day. Better have some leftovers!!
thanks alot for sharing …the video describes all the steps so clearly..will definitely try this tomorrow
I would love to hear how you like it!
Thanks so much for checking me out!
I don’t eat a lot of meat but my husband would love this. I have to make it for him. Pinning.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful post at #OverTheMoon. I look forward to what you will share next week! Do something special. Give yourself a standing ovation today! We hope you’ll come back again next Sunday when we open our doors at 6:00 PM EST. Pinned. Don’t forget to check out this week’s features – you are mine.
Hugs,
Bev
Well, if he loves meat he will love this! Look at the comments, I responded about a vegetarian version of this that we love.
Of course I shall return and thanks for featuring! Woohoo!
This looks delicious! I have always liked Salisbury steak, but never tried to make it at home. That’s going to change now. Thanks for sharing!
I know you’ll love it! Let me know what you think!
Yum. My husband, carnivore daughter, and myself would all be very happy if this showed up at dinner some night. My “would-be-a-vegetarian-except-she’s-not-all-that-wild-about-vegetables” middle schooler will eat a grilled cheese. Fine. More of this for the rest of us. Stopping by and pinning from Coffee & Conversation!
Okay, I got something for your little vegetarian that we always eat around here and it takes little time, just some different ingredients. You can cut this in half. This is the full batch. Mix 3 eggs, 1.5 cups cottage cheese, 1.5 cups quick oats, 3 tablespoons wheat germ, and 2/3 of an envelope of onion soup mix. You can add a drop of gravy color, like Kitchen Bouquet to make it a little darker, to make it look more like “meat”.
Mix that all up, let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes, and form it into patties the size of your salisbury steaks. Bake it 400 until it’s firmed up and kinda golden. You may flip it after 12 minutes or so. Smother it with the gravy you made for the salisbury steak. Tell her it’s a specialty just for her without meat.
We call it mystery meat around here and I have served it to my son many times and he eats it just fine. He does keep on asking me, but what kind of meat is it? I don’t know I say, It’s a mystery to us all.
It firms up really well when baked and covered in gravy over some mashed potatoes, it’s a good substitute.
Also, it’s not good when you cook them all and them have them for left overs. You need to cook what you want at the moment and save the mix for later. It’ll last about three days in the fridge when not cooked. It’s not that it goes bad, it it’s just that the oats soak up all the moisture and it lacks the same texture. Also, if you don’t have eggs or just don’t want to use them up, you can mix 3 tablespoons of flax with 6 tablespoons of warm water and let it sit up until the mixture resembles the texture of beaten eggs. I usually take this route and I have never noticed a difference between that and using the eggs.
My mother used to fix Salisbury steak all the time. Thanks for the memories.
At least you have good ones of salisbury steak. I swear, what we had at school….well it was weird. But I loved it. It’s still baffling to me.
For people like me who are on a low sodium diet, some I ingredients can be replaced by thkse
This will be the first time that I make Salisbury steak. Looks good and easy to make.
Wish me luck.
