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!
Best Salisbury Steak Recipe with Mushroom-Onion Gravy
Ingredients
For the steak:
- 1 pound (454 g) ground beef
- 1/4 cup (30 g) breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) mustard powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) kosher salt
- lots fresh ground black pepper , to taste
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) cooking oil , for searing beef patties
For the Mushroom Gravy
- 8 ounces (227 g) mushrooms , sliced
- 1 medium onion , sliced
- 3 Tablespoons (30 g) butter
- 2 cloves garlic , minced or crushed
- 1/4-1/2 cup (30-60 g) flour , depending on how thick you like your gravy
- 3 cups (720 ml) broth (beef, chicken or vegetable)
- kosher salt , to taste
- black pepper , to taste
Instructions
- In large bowl mix together all the steak ingredients (beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic salt, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper). Shape into 4 oval patties.
- Heat large pan over medium-high heat and then add oil. Brown both sides of patties (about 1 minute per side) and then remove from the pan.
- Keep same pan and beef juices over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until onions are golden and excess mushroom liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
- Add butter and garlic to the mushrooms and onions. Cook for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the flour, cooking and stirring to remove lumps. Add about 1/2 – 1 cup of beef stock, whisking until incorporated.
- Increase heat to High. Slowly pour in the remaining broth and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (the saltiness and flavors will concentrate some when it reduces down).
- Once gravy starts to boil, reduce heat to low. Stirring often, simmer until the gravy starts to thicken, about 5-10 minutes. Add salisbury steak patties back into the gravy and cook until the steak patties are cooked to your preferred doneness (usually about 5-10 minutes), stirring the gravy occasionally around the steaks. Taste for seasoning and add more salt & pepper, if desired.
- Serve the steaks topped with the mushroom sauce. They are excellent over rice, pasta or mashed potatoes!

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.

it was wonderful, we loved it wouldn’t change a thing!
That’s great to know! Thanks for sharing Lynda.
Just made this tonight. Didn’t change a thing and it was fantastic. I served it over white rice. Will make again and try mashed potatoes instead.
thanks so much Kelly!
My gravy didnt turn out that Brown but its really delicious otherwise !!
I made this tonight and I put in gravy master to make it brown and it gave it another level of flavor.
This is a great recipe! I made it tonight and everyone loved it. It super easy to follow and execute, 5 stars!
Yes you can use canned mushrooms, but it will take a long time to thicken. You might want stir in some flour to the broth to help it thicken.
I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! Probably the best Salisbury Steaks I have ever had.
I followed the recipe exactly and very happy. The only change I will make next time is to mix the flour
with a cup of broth before pouring it in the pan as it was difficult to get all the lumps out with mushrooms
and onions in the pan. Thank you for such a great recipe.
Awesome. Happy you loved it! Mixing the flour with the broth before hand it a great technique too. It usually whisks in easier beforehand if the broth is cool or cold too.
So delish and an easy dinner to make made with mash potatoes and Peas was awesome!
2 Tablespoons of Sherry wine and 1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic after adding the Chicken broth makes this recipe a 12 instead of a 10 ! – Great Recipe ! Keep up the good work ! . . .Jim McIntyre
Love the addition of the sherry wine! And thanks for enjoying the recipe!
Yum this is going into my regular go to meals
Thank you for this recipe. This is one of my favorite meals and I have been searching for this for 6 years since I lost all my recipes in a fire. I like to add a little sour cream to the gravy as it simmers.
Hi Kathleen, wow it’s an honor that you love our recipe! And love the addition of sour cream.
This recipe is the best i have ever made. Thanks for sharing with us.
I made this tonight. This is actually my first time making Salisbury steak. I’m currently pregnant so my appetite has been crazy lately.
I don’t have mustard powder so I used yellow mustard instead. Same measurement.
Also I added a tablespoon of soy sauce for color and taste. And it turned out perfect. When I took the first bite I was like “HMMM OH MY GOD” then called my husband and gave him a bite. And he’s like, oh my god. That’s a legit Salisbury steak right there. Good job baby and we did a fist bump! I’m so happy whenever I try a new recipe and it will turn out great.
I will definitely make this as “A MUST” on our meal.
Thanks a lot for the recipe!
We’re so happy that you and your husband enjoyed the recipe. And congrats to you both!
For a quick weekday meal, it’s yummy.
I used chicken stock and may have been better with the beef broth but it was very good!
Tried it tonight it was delicious and easy to make
I just made these tonight and they were a hit! Really easy to make. I will definitely make these again! ??
Thanks for making them and enjoying them! This salisbury steak is definitely easy and delicious.
