Salisbury Steak Meatballs with Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes

A twist on classic Salisbury steak, these meatballs are served with creamy garlic herb mashed potatoes, bringing nostalgic flavors to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional)
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix gently until just combined.
  2. Shape the Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Cook the Meatballs: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Carefully add the meatballs, and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  4. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, pour in the beef broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. If necessary, mix cornstarch with a little water until smooth, then stir it into the broth. Let it simmer until it thickens.
  5. Return the Meatballs: Gently place the meatballs back into the gravy, spooning some sauce over them. Let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes on low heat until cooked through.
  6. Prepare the Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes: Boil the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and return to the pot.
  7. Mash It Up: Add in the milk, butter, minced garlic, and herbs. Mash until creamy, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Serve: Plate the mashed potatoes, making a space in the center for your meatballs. Drizzle with gravy.

Notes

Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and pair with steamed green beans or a fresh salad.
