Ingredients in Salisbury Steak
Ground beef – Use lean ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio) for the best flavor and texture. You can also use ground turkey for a healthier option. If you’re short on time, pre-made frozen patties or meatballs work too!
Breadcrumbs & Egg – These bind the patties together, and the egg adds moisture.
Mushrooms – Mushrooms add a rich flavor to the gravy. They can be replaced with extra onions if you’d prefer.
Gravy – The gravy is made with a roux (flour and butter) and low sodium beef broth, flavored with garlic, onion powder, and thyme.
Seasoning – Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, and pepper are all you need, but feel free to add any other seasonings or herbs you like. If you don’t have dry mustard powder, substitute 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.

I dream about this salisbury steak. a coworker recommended the recipe about a week after I downloaded your app. I don’t even know how many times I’ve made it since then but omg it’s amazing every time. I just found the recipe for salisbury meatballs and I’m so excited to try them. dinner cannot get here soon enough!
Can I use regular beef broth in place of the condensed?
Hi Gina, Other readers have with great results! I would love to hear how it turns out for you.
Love your recipes! I always check your site first when I need ideas or a recipe. My only change was to add a dollop of sour cream at the end for a bit creamier flavor.
Made this tonight with twiced baked Potatoes. Smash hit with the entire family… even Mr. I don’t like Salibury steak. Thanks for another great recipe.
So happy to hear that, Jeff!
