Salisbury Steak Recipe

Salisbury Steak
There’s nothing like some good old comfort food, and there’s nothing better than some Salisbury steak. No… not the frozen stuff, the homemade Salisbury steak! It’s tasty, it’s easy to make, and it’s been popular in the United States for many years. I found a couple Salisbury steak recipes online awhile ago, but one of them of them I didn’t like the gravy and the other, I didn’t like the patties. So what did I do? I combine them to make the perfect Salisbury steak recipe. In this article I give you two methods of cooking the patties- on the stove top or on the grill. Whichever one you choose will have a significantly different flavor. Going with the stove top will give a juicy buttery flavor, and going with the grill with give the flamed broiled flavor. If you want you can do what I did, grill half and cook half on the stove top. Personally, I think both methods taste good.

      I tried this recipe last night and it was very good!! I no longer use Ground Beef in my household…only Ground Turkey. It turned out GREAT even w/ the Turkey!
      THANK YOU

    14. Bobby on April 10th, 2008

      DJB – I’m glad you liked my recipe! It does sound really good with ground turkey as well, maybe others that don’t use ground beef will enjoy this variation as well. Thanks.

      I’m a little late commenting, but this looks AMAZING. Not something to eat every day if you’re concerned about your arteries, but… awesome. Will try it out when I need a little comfort food.

    16. Bobby on May 1st, 2008

      Karen – never too late to comment :) Let me know how it turns out. Enjoy.

      If only I ate meat :) . Maybe I will replace the meat with Tofu

    18. valmg on July 11th, 2008

      Wow this looks good! We’ve been thinking about trying salisbury steak from scratch, I think I’m going to try yours.

    19. marius on July 23rd, 2008

      I wish so much my girl could do something even close to this :)

    20. Kimberley on December 11th, 2008

      I wish so much my guy would appreciate something like this! ;)

    21. Linda on April 25th, 2009

      Wow, this is really good. I’ve fixed it 3 times in the last 6 weeks! You should know that it is even better 1 or 2 days later. A real bonus if you want to have a meal ready in advance. Put the patties in the gravy and refrigerate. Gently reheat, on low, covered on the stovetop, with a little water in the pan bottom.

    23. Amanda Royer on February 10th, 2010

      Hello! I tried this today, it is wonderful! The KIDS even ate it! Now THAT’S an accomplishment! Thanks so much!

    24. James on February 27th, 2010

      Made this for my finicky wife and my daughter. They loved it. I didn’t have horsradish at the time so I used spicy mustard instead. That was two weeks ago. They have requested it again for tonight.

      This is a very easy recipe too

    25. Jessica on May 19th, 2010

      WOW!!! This recipe is incredible!! I absolutely loved it. I did my own post of this recipe :) Thanks SO much for sharing!!

    26. Jess on August 18th, 2011

      Wow, this looks amazing! So yummy. I’m young but I’ve been in the kitchen for almost 8 years :) My mom is real picky, but i think she’ll like it! Wish me luck, i love making new things :) Cooking is my passion

    27. grand_dra9on on September 17th, 2011

      Hi, I tried several of your recipes and I loved it, really delicious and fit my taste.

      And I really like to try this recipe too, but the problem is they don’t sell horseradish (both fresh and prepared) in my country and I never taste horseradish before.
      So do you have any suggestion on what ingredient should I use to substitute it?
      Thanks :D
