Ingredients

Scale

For the Meatballs:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

For the Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix gently until just combined to avoid tough meatballs.
  2. Shape and Bake Meatballs: Form the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
  3. Make the Gravy Base: While the meatballs bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  4. Add Broth and Thicken Gravy: Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the gravy. Continue to simmer until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cook Potatoes for Mashed Potatoes: Place chopped potatoes and minced garlic into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Mash Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Add milk and butter, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, black pepper, and fold in fresh chopped parsley for added flavor.
  7. Toss Meatballs in Gravy: Add the baked meatballs to the skillet with the prepared gravy, gently tossing to coat each meatball evenly in the rich sauce.
  8. Serve: Plate a generous scoop of the garlic herb mashed potatoes and top with Salisbury steak meatballs. Drizzle extra gravy over the dish for added richness and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat option, use lean ground beef or substitute half the beef with ground turkey.
  • If breadcrumbs are not available, crushed crackers or oats can be used as a binder.
  • Adjust the thickness of the gravy by adding more or less cornstarch slurry according to preference.
  • To make the mashed potatoes creamier, add more butter or a splash of cream instead of milk.
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or chives can be added to mashed potatoes for an extra flavor boost.
