Ingredients in Salisbury Steak
- Ground beef: Use lean ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio) for the best flavor and texture. You can also use ground turkey for a healthier option. If you’re short on time, pre-made frozen patties or meatballs work too!
- Breadcrumbs & Egg: These bind the steak together and the egg adds moisture.
- Mushrooms: These are used in the gravy for a rich, earthy flavor. If you don’t like mushrooms, you can use extra onions.
- Gravy: The gravy is made with a roux (flour and butter) and low sodium beef broth, flavored with garlic, onion powder, and thyme.
- Seasoning: Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt and pepper are all you need, but feel free to add any other seasonings or herbs you like. If you don’t have dry mustard powder, substitute 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
- Toppings: French-fried onions, grated cheese, or even a fried egg make great toppings.

Wow! I have never made Salisbury Steak….but I have eaten many versions. This is hands down the BEST I have ever had! But that didn’t surprise me, every single recipe I have made from SWP’s site has been incredible. I did make this gluten free using GF bread that I VitaMixed and GF 1to1 AP flour. I used Better than Bouillon Beef Base and added sharp cheddar and Mozzarella cheese to the toppings of the SS. Just a great tasting dinner that WILL go into my rotation!
Thank you for your kind words Graham, I’m so glad you loved this recipe!
