Description
Salisbury Steak Meatballs are a comforting ground beef recipe made with juicy meatballs simmered in rich onion gravy. Perfect for dinner, meal prep, or freezing, this homemade meatball dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or noodles.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups beef broth
1 large yellow onion, sliced
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until just combined.
2. Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, turning to sear all sides. Set aside once browned.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and sliced onion. Cook until softened and golden.
5. Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1 minute until the onions are coated.
6. Slowly add beef broth while whisking, and simmer until thickened into a smooth gravy.
7. Return meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer in the gravy for 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through.
8. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice, with gravy spooned generously on top.
Notes
Make sure not to overmix the meatball mixture to keep them tender.
Use 85/15 ground beef for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
The gravy thickens more as it sits, so don’t worry if it seems slightly thin while simmering.
