How to Make The Ultimate Salisbury Steak Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy

Ingredients

For the meatballs:

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

For the mushroom gravy:

1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup beef broth
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into meatballs (about 1-2 inches in diameter).
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat, then gradually add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring to avoid lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover with gravy, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, preferably over mashed potatoes or rice.
