Tender beef meatballs simmered in a rich, savory mushroom gravy, delivering all the classic comfort of Salisbury steak in an easy, hearty dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup onion, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and sauté the mushrooms until browned and tender.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir until a paste forms.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the gravy thickens.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 10–15 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and coated in gravy.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meatball mixture to keep them tender.
- Add a splash of cream or sour cream for extra-rich gravy.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
- The flavor improves after resting for a few hours.
