Salisbury Steak with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Corn 

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Salisbury Steak Patties

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into four oval patties.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

1. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook until they soften and start to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute to remove any raw flour taste.
3. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Let the gravy simmer until it thickens, then return the Salisbury steak patties to the skillet. Spoon the gravy over the patties and let them cook in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

1. Place the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add minced garlic, butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
3. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy, adding more milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.

Step 4: Heat the Corn

1. In a small saucepan, warm the corn with a tablespoon of butter over low heat.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

On each plate, serve a Salisbury steak patty topped with gravy, a scoop of garlic mashed potatoes, and a side of buttery corn. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color, if desired.

Tips for Perfect Salisbury Steak

• Don’t overwork the beef mixture: Gently mix the ingredients until just combined to keep the patties tender.
• Use high-quality beef broth: For a deeper flavor in the gravy, using a good-quality beef broth or stock makes a noticeable difference.
• Creamy potatoes: For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon gold or Russet potatoes, which mash smoothly and absorb flavors well.

Variations

• Add vegetables: For a heartier meal, add a side of green beans, roasted carrots, or a mixed green salad.
• Cheese in the mashed potatoes: Add a handful of shredded cheese to the mashed potatoes for an extra creamy, cheesy twist.
• Make it low-carb: Substitute cauliflower mash for the garlic mashed potatoes if you prefer a lower-carb option.
