Can You Freeze Salisbury Steaks?

Yes and it’s a great way to have dinner ready when you get home. Just make sure they are thoroughly cooled before you freeze them. Then freeze them in a freezer safe container. Before serving, take them out the night before and allow them to thaw in the fridge. Re-heat in a pan before serving again.

What Other Types of Meat ?

Traditionally salisbury steak is made with ground beef. But there’s so many other options for meat if you want to eat something other than beef.

  • Ground chicken or turkey are healthier options, especially if you’re using ground breast meat or white meat.
  • If you love pork, then using ground pork is great. The rich flavors are fantastic.
  • Fan of ground lamb meat? This option is equally delicious.
  • Using plant based beyond meat or impossible meat for a vegan Salisbury steak patty is wonderful. For the gravy, use vegan or vegetable stock and you’ve got a delicious plant based Salisbury steak.
  • So there’s something for everyone!

What to serve with Salisbury Steaks?

Now that you’ve made your batch of steak patties, how to serve them? There’s so many ways to enjoy these flavorful patties smothered in gravy. Here’s a few of our favorite and most popular ways to serve:

  • Serve these as an appetizer! These fabulous steaks are great if you cut them into little bites. They’re great to serve on a platter at a party. Serve with little toothpicks or party picks so guests can serve themselves. Add a little ladle so they can spoon some gravy over.
  • What about a Hoagie sandwich? buy some soft hoagie bread and fill it with a salisbury steak patty and a big spoonful of gravy!
  • Serve with pasta or egg noodles: Kids love eating meatballs with egg noodles or on different types of pasta.
  • We love rice or other grains and they’re always another great options.
  • On mashed potatoes, of course! This is our favorite way to eat these juicy patties: serve them on a bed of mashed potatoes. The luscious gravy and juicy salisbury steaks over creamy mashed potatoes is to die for.

Can you make salisbury steaks ahead of time?

We love meal prepping salisbury steaks! These steak patties are perfect for meal prep. You can make the whole recipe ahead of time. But when the patties are cooked, remove them from the gravy and allow them to cool. Then freeze the patties separately. You can freeze the gravy too. But when it thaws, it might be too watered down. Allow it to heat up and stir it really well to break up all the clumps. Add a little bit of heavy cream or butter to thicken it a bit.
