Ingredients

Scale

For the Salisbury Steak Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Gravy

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes

  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the meatballs.
  2. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Shape and Bake Meatballs: Form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Arrange them evenly on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked through.
  4. Cook Potatoes: While meatballs bake, place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large saucepan filled with water and bring to a boil. Cook potatoes until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  5. Mash Potatoes: Drain potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Add minced garlic, butter, and milk. Mash the potatoes until smooth, then stir in chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Prepare Gravy: In a frying pan over medium heat, add the flour and cook for about one minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add soy sauce and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer the gravy until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
  7. Combine Meatballs and Gravy: Once meatballs are baked, transfer them to the pan with the prepared gravy. Gently coat the meatballs in the gravy and allow them to heat together briefly.
  8. Serve: Plate the Salisbury steak meatballs alongside a generous serving of garlic herb mashed potatoes and enjoy a comforting, hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the gravy during simmering.
  • Ensure potatoes are peeled and evenly chopped for uniform cooking.
  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor in mashed potatoes and gravy.
  • Leftover gravy can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
