Ingredients
Scale
For the Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mushroom Gravy
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Shape the mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch meatballs and set aside.
- Cook the Meatballs: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Add the meatballs and cook them in batches, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, cooking until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour and create a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, continuing to whisk until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer Meatballs in Gravy: Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet, spooning some gravy over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the meatballs are heated through.
- Serve: Spoon the Salisbury steak meatballs with mushroom gravy onto plates and enjoy with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs and use gluten-free flour in the gravy.
- You can add a splash of red wine to the mushroom gravy for enhanced flavor.
- Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, simmer it longer or add a slurry of cornstarch and water.
