Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 recommended
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs plain
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Gravy
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 lbs potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet, peeled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup milk warmed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives chopped

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Skillet
  • saucepan
  • Potato Masher

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in ketchup and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the meatballs to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. While the meatballs are simmering, place the quartered potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  8. Drain the potatoes well. Return them to the saucepan. Add butter, warm milk, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped chives. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve the Salisbury steak meatballs and gravy over the garlic herb mashed potatoes.

Notes

For a richer gravy, you can add a splash of red wine when you add the beef broth. You can also add sliced mushrooms along with the onions for extra flavor and texture.
