Description
Tender, juicy Salisbury steak-style meatballs smothered in a rich mushroom gravy and served over creamy garlic herb mashed potatoes for a comforting, hearty meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes:
- 2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides (they don’t need to be cooked through). Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and diced onion; sauté until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until softened and browned.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in beef broth, soy sauce, and thyme. Bring to a simmer until thickened.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer in the gravy for 10–12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, cream, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the meatballs and mushroom gravy over the garlic herb mashed potatoes. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the gravy.
- Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- The mashed potatoes can be made ahead and reheated with a splash of milk.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour.
