Scale
For the 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

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
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get ready for baking the meatballs.
- Mix meatball ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder until evenly mixed.
- Shape and bake meatballs: Form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until fully cooked through.
- Boil potatoes: While meatballs bake, place peeled and chopped potatoes in a large saucepan of water and boil until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare mashed potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Add minced garlic, butter, and milk. Mash until smooth, then stir in chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the gravy: In a frying pan, cook the flour over medium heat for about one minute. Slowly whisk in beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add soy sauce and Dijon mustard, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Combine meatballs and gravy: Once meatballs are done, transfer them to the gravy pan and coat them thoroughly with the sauce.
- Serve: Plate the Salisbury steak meatballs and serve with a generous portion of garlic herb mashed potatoes for a comforting, flavorful meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sauté the onions before mixing into the meatball mixture.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef for a leaner option.
- If you prefer, pan-fry the meatballs instead of baking for a crispier exterior.
- Adjust garlic amount in mashed potatoes according to your preference.
- The gravy can be thickened more by adding additional flour if needed.
- Leftover meatballs with gravy can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
