Why You’ll Love This Salisbury Steak Recipe:

  • Because everything is made from scratch, the resulting flavor is incredible and quite opulent.
  • If you can do the majority of the preparation in advance, it will give you a head start on the process.
  • This recipe makes eight servings, so there will be enough food for the whole family as well as extra to save in the freezer for another time.

Why is it Called Salisbury Steak?

The American physician Dr. James Henry Salisbury is generally credited as the person who first developed the Salisbury steak. After conducting a study on how different foods influence the body, he concluded that beef that had been ground up was a good option. As the beef patties gained more and more popularity, they were given his name in honor of him.

There was a good chance that you ate Salisbury steak back in the days of TV dinners. Believe me when I say that the formula has changed significantly since then.

What Is The Difference Between Salisbury Steak And Hamburger Steak?

A hamburger steak simply has salt and pepper in it, but a Salisbury steak also has things like breadcrumbs, sauces, onions, and an egg in it as well. They are quite comparable and depending on the recipe, there may not be any discernible difference between the two at all.

Is Pioneer Woman Salisbury steak already cooked?

Each three-ounce serving of fully cooked and flame-broiled pioneer lady beef Salisbury steak satisfies the child nutrition meal pattern requirement for two and a half ounces of equivalent meat or meat alternative.

What Ingredients To Make Pioneer Woman Salisbury Steak?

  • Ground meats: Meats that have been ground even though the majority of other Salisbury Steak recipes call for ground beef on their own, we’ve discovered that using ground pork contributes to an even tastier flavor and takes this meal to a whole new level. The butcher also provides us with high-grade 93/07 chuck and ground sirloin of decent quality, both of which we purchase. The completed product more than justifies the expenditure!
  • Binders: The steaks are held together by a combination of sliced white bread and whole eggs, which also serve as binders.
  • Beef stock:  We never run out of our homemade brown stock, so we always have some of it stashed away in the freezer. (For recipes like this one, we freeze it in a more manageable quantity size.) You may certainly substitute canned chicken stock in its place.
  • Cream: The addition of heavy cream to the mushroom gravy not only helps to thicken it but also gives it a velvety smooth feel. You can get away with using a thinner cream, but the final product won’t be quite as luscious.
  • Flavorings: The dish’s signature flavor, that of Salisbury Steak, is achieved by the use of several different seasonings and sauces, including Worcestershire sauce, onions, and fresh thyme, gravy color and seasoning sauce, and other sauces and seasonings.
  • Mushrooms: Cremini or Baby Bella mushrooms were utilized for the sauce, which brings us to our final ingredient: mushrooms. Although white button mushrooms are an option, we find that the Cremini mushrooms have a richer flavor that is nearly reminiscent of flesh.

How To Make Pioneer Woman Salisbury Steak?

  1. If you plan to serve the steaks with mashed potatoes, get the potatoes ready first and then reheat them after the steaks are done.
  2. After adding the onions and cooking them for three minutes until they are tender, melt one and a half teaspoons of butter and one and a half tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat.
  3. Take the pan off the heat and whisk in some cream, stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, as well as some salt and pepper.
  4. Put the two bread slices that have been clipped immediately into the pan, and then flip them over a few times so that they may absorb the liquid. Put this mixture in a separate bowl to cool down.
  5. After it has cooled, mix in the two eggs that have been beaten.
  6. Place the ground beef, ground sirloin, and ground pork in a large bowl and mix them. After the egg and bread combination has had time to cool, add it to the meat, and then use your hands to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients. Mix the ingredients for the minimum amount of time necessary to fully combine them, and make every effort not to overwork the batter.
  7. After the mixture has been poured out, shape it into a log. Cut in half, then each half in half again, and then cut each quarter in half to get eight parts of 8 ounces each.
  8. Make each into an oval-shaped patty, and arrange them in a row on a sheet tray coated with parchment paper.
  9. Place three cups of stock, one-third of a cup of cream, salt, pepper, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and gravy color in a medium-sized saucepan. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then keep warm until it’s required.
  10. Over medium heat, melt the two tablespoons of butter and one and a half teaspoons of olive oil in a very large saute pan that, if possible, has a nonstick surface.
  11. Once the pan is heated, sear the steaks for three minutes on each side by placing four steaks at a time in it and then transferring them to a tray once they are done. Repeat the process with the remaining four steaks, transferring them to the dish each time. The steaks will not be cooked through.
  12. Maintain the medium heat, add the onions, and cook for one minute after each addition.
  13. After adding the mushrooms and cooking them for five minutes, remove them together with the onions and place them in a bowl.
  14. The final four tablespoons of butter should be added, and the heat should be reduced to medium-low.
  15. After the butter has melted, whisk in the flour and continue cooking for another three minutes while stirring often.
  16. Whisking continuously as you add it, transfer one-third of the hot liquid from the saucepan into the bowl with the dry ingredients. The mixture will have a fairly dense consistency. After incorporating the previous two-thirds, add the last third and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth.
  17. After the mushrooms and onions have been cooked, add them back in and mix them.
  18. Place the steaks that have been cooked on each plate and then spread sauce over them.
  19. Cook the steaks on a low heat setting with the lid on the pan for about ten to fifteen minutes, or until a probe thermometer put into one of the steaks reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  20. If the sauce is excessively thick, you may thin it down by adding some of the remaining stock, water, or cream.
  21. You should serve one steak to each individual, along with mashed potatoes, a vegetable, and mushroom sauce drizzled on top of each serving.

Recipe Tips 

  • When combining the ingredients for the Salisbury steaks with your hands, be careful not to overwork the mixture and use a light touch instead. In that case, the steaks will be tough and lacking in moisture.
  • Also, resist the urge to add additional eggs or bread to the mixture. To obtain the texture of soft beef patties, only a small amount of binder is required.

Recipe Variations:

  • Even though this Salisbury Steak is already quite great on its own, I’m always game for trying out new and interesting takes on old recipes. Take a look at these suggestions:
  • Try making this recipe with turkey ground instead of beef! If you’re searching for something with fewer calories, this is a great alternative to beef.
  • The use of beef consomme in the gravy is one of my favorite culinary hacks. The gravy benefits from its abundance of taste, as well as its richness and depth.
  • To give the gravy a more robust taste, try adding some fresh herbs to it.
  • If you’re trying to pacify someone who is a finicky eater, remove the mushrooms (or onions) from the gravy.

Anytime I make anything resembling hamburger steak, they puff up and shrink in. Any hint on how to make them stop that?

@Mugsy, I flatten them after putting them in the pan then I poke my finger into each patty several times. Remember to wash your hands well after handling raw meat!
