Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ 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
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes

  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ 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. Make Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, dried parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Shape and Bake Meatballs: Form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them evenly on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until fully cooked through.
  4. Cook Potatoes: While the meatballs bake, boil the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large saucepan filled with water for 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Prepare Mashed Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Add minced garlic, butter, and milk. Mash together until smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Make Gravy: In a frying pan over medium heat, add the flour and cook for about one minute while stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the beef broth to prevent lumps. Stir in soy sauce and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper, then simmer the gravy for 5 minutes until it thickens.
  7. Combine Meatballs and Gravy: Remove the baked meatballs from the oven and add them to the frying pan with the gravy, coating each meatball thoroughly.
  8. Serve: Plate the Salisbury steak meatballs alongside a generous serving of the garlic herb mashed potatoes and enjoy.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, do not overmix the meatball ingredients, just combine until blended.
  • Use fresh herbs like parsley for best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted if unavailable.
  • If you prefer a smoother gravy, strain it before adding the meatballs.
  • Adjust milk quantity in mashed potatoes for preferred consistency.
  • Breadcrumbs can be substituted with gluten-free breadcrumbs for dietary needs.
  • Let the meatballs rest for a few minutes after baking to retain their juices.
