Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy, served over Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes with a side of green peas is pure comfort.
I wanted to prepare and share a dish that said “when I am with you I am complete and comfortable”.
On any given day, this is one of the most popular recipes on the blog. It’s a fan favorite and a family favorite. My 11 year old bonus daughter Ella made it for a weeknight dinner with some neighbors. I would say this also qualifies as a quick & easy recipe!
Salisbury Steak isn’t much more than kicked-up hamburger patties braised in mushroom gravy. Almost like mini-meatloaves, sautéed in butter, then finished in a nice rich mushroom gravy. I really like the mushroom gravy.
Although, I’ve probably seen just as many recipes for Salisbury Steak with an Onion Gravy, so I say get happy and take it in the direction that makes you and yours complete and comfortable.

Instructions

For the mushroom gravy…
- Add 1 Tbl. butter, sliced mushrooms, and shallots and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Add the fresh thyme and cook an additional minute. Dust mixture with flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.

The patties called for onion and shallots. Am I suppose to use both? I only have an onion on hand. Thanks

I’ve made this a few times and it’s delicious! My husband requests this often. I’m wondering if anyone cooks this in the oven instead of the stove?

I stumbled upon your Website (blog) last week and absolutely love it. I am a self proclaimed gourmet cook, but I must tell you that all of your recipes including this one have won me over. You will be my “go to” food blog for different ideas. Thank you

I just discovered your blog recently and this was the first recipe I tried. My kids (3&6) really liked it and hubs and I did, too. I will definitely make it again. I did have one problem, of the 4 loaves, 2 didnt form that well. I’m wondering if its because I used a lean beef. Any advice? Otherwise they were great and I’ll definitely make it again for sure.

Hi Chelai. So happy you enjoyed the Salisbury steaks. Definitely a favorite here as well. Not sure why two didn’t hold together, I don’t think the lean beef would change anything. Until they brown up they can be a little delicate. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Made this as a freezer meal for my parents, of course kept one for myself! Excellent flavor, I love mushrooms and so much better then the standard with only onions. The only thing I did different was add a tsp of powered mushrooms for more intense flavor. I really haven’t thought of Salisbury steaks for years and very glad I tried yours!

Made burgers last night on the Q and made a few extra. I found this recipe and the amazing mushroom gravy and whipped up a batch for supper.
Let me tell you about the rave reviews. My family is asking for another batch sooner than soon.
To be honest I had never made mushroom gravy before. This was so easy, so delicious. We loved every morsel. Next time I will make the salisbury steaks as you instruct.
So good. Thanks so much for sharing all this yummy goodness.
Pat and Happy Family

I made this recipe tonight and it was absolutely wonderful. The meat patties were perfectly seasoned. They did not fall apart. I did not add one thing more or less to the ingredient list nor did I want to once I had tasted the result. The mushroom gravy was fabulous. I would make this for any night of the week and my family would be happy. I have been so very impressed with each and every recipe that I have made from this site … Thank you Libby, you are truly gifted.
