Combining flavorful meat patties and a savory gravy, it’s comfort food at its easiest, needing only minimal prep time and only basic cooking skills. Quick, cheap and popular with both kids and adults alike, this homemade Salisbury Steak recipe makes for a fantastic midweek meal that’s absolutely full of flavor.
Though its name may sound like a cut of beef, Salisbury Steak is actually made of ground beef mixed with a few other ingredients and formed into a patty. The use of ground beef makes it a really affordable family meal while still giving you that same succulent, meaty flavor you’d get from a regular steak. Buying a high-quality ground beef will make a big difference in this recipe.
Choosing a lean beef will also ensure that the end result is not too greasy, though feel free to go for whichever kind of ground beef is your favorite. If you want a lighter twist on the Salisbury Steak, you could even use turkey mince instead for the patties and chicken stock in the gravy.
