Salisbury Steak: What is it?

Salisbury is the pinnacle of traditional, homemade American food in terms of flavor. Simply ground beef patties covered in a hearty onion and mushroom sauce make up this dish.

With egg and bread crumbs acting as a binder, ground beef is seasoned and combined.

The patties are often browned in a skillet over medium heat before being boiled in Salisbury gravy, which is made with beef stock, onion, and mushrooms.

For Salisbury cooked slowly, you could alternatively cram the patties and the gravy ingredients into a crock pot. However, this Instant Pot Salisbury with simple mushroom sauce is ideal if you’re trying to save time.

How to Prepare a Fresh Salisbury Steak

If you’re not familiar with them, you can read more about them here: What is The Instant Pot? I adore cooking in my Instant Pot. To prepare homemade Salisbury in your Instant Pot, just adhere to these easy steps:

  1. In the bottom of your Instant Pot, add sliced mushrooms and diced onion.
  2. The beef patty components should be combined, then formed into patties.
  3. The patties are browned in a skillet before being layered over the onion and mushrooms.
  4. Cook on high pressure while incorporating the remaining ingredients.

Although I have browned the patties in the Instant Pot (on sautee), flipping them in a non-stick frying pan is simpler. Both options will work!

Making Salisbury Steak Gravy Instructions

Without a thick gravy, no Salisbury would be complete. Making mushroom gravy inside the Instant Pot is quite simple when the patties have done cooking in the device:

  • Make a cornstarch and water slurry while your Instant Pot is still heating up the patties.
  • Depressurize after the cooking cycle is finished, then take off the lid. Discard the patties.
  • When the sauce begins to bubble in the sauté setting of the Instant Pot, whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken it.

Voila! A flawless, thick sauce for Salisbury!

By this point, you may have realized that the ingredients for meatballs and Salisbury patties are remarkably similar. It’s simple to turn this Instant Pot Salisbury dish into Salisbury meatballs.

Make 1-inch meatballs out of the meat, egg, and bread crumbs combination rather than patties. Simply continue the rest of the recipe as written after that.
