Ingredients

Scale

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

Gravy

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the meatballs.
  2. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, dried parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to form a uniform meatball mixture.
  3. Shape and Bake Meatballs: Shape the mixture into roughly 1.5-inch diameter meatballs. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked through.
  4. Cook Potatoes: While the meatballs bake, boil the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large saucepan of water until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  5. Prepare Mashed Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Add minced garlic, butter, and milk. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Stir in fresh chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Make Gravy: In a frying pan over medium heat, cook 2 tablespoons of flour for about one minute to remove raw taste. Gradually whisk in beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add soy sauce and Dijon mustard, season with salt and pepper, then simmer for about 5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
  7. Combine Meatballs and Gravy: Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the gravy in the frying pan, coating them well in the sauce.
  8. Serve: Plate the Salisbury steak meatballs and serve them alongside a generous portion of garlic herb mashed potatoes for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Ensure meatballs are not overcrowded on the baking sheet to bake evenly.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the gravy can enhance flavor.
  • For creamier mashed potatoes, add more butter or milk as desired.
  • Use a potato masher or electric mixer depending on your texture preference.
