Description

This Homemade Salisbury Steak Meatballs recipe features tender ground beef meatballs cooked in a rich mushroom and beef broth sauce. Perfectly browned and simmered to develop deep flavors, this comforting dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or vegetables for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp onion powder

For the Mushroom Sauce

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated to create the meatball base.
  2. Form and Brown the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs. Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides until they have a rich, golden crust, about 5-7 minutes. This helps to seal in the juices and adds flavor.
  3. Add Mushrooms and Broth: Once the meatballs are browned, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring briefly to soften them. Then pour in the beef broth, ensuring the meatballs are at least partially submerged in the liquid.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the flour with a little cold water to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps and to thicken the mushroom sauce around the meatballs.
  5. Simmer the Meatballs: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the meatballs simmer in the mushroom sauce for 20 minutes. This cooking time allows the meatballs to cook through and the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • To keep the meatballs moist, avoid overmixing the beef mixture.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the breadcrumbs and flour with gluten-free alternatives.
  • You can add minced garlic or Worcestershire sauce to the meatball mixture for extra flavor.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
  • The mushroom sauce can be enhanced by adding a splash of red wine or cream if desired.
