FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What’s the difference between Salisbury Steak and hamburger steak?

While they might look similar, Salisbury Steak is more like a meatloaf-style patty. We add breadcrumbs, seasonings, and other flavoring ingredients, while hamburger steaks are typically just seasoned ground beef.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can form the patties up to 24 hours ahead and keep them covered in the fridge. The gravy reheats beautifully too – just add a splash of beef broth if needed to thin it out.

What kind of ground beef should I use?

I recommend 85/15 ground beef. You want some fat for flavor and juiciness, but not so much that your gravy becomes greasy.

What can I serve with Salisbury Steak?

Mashed potatoes are classic, but egg noodles or rice work great too. Add a green vegetable like roasted broccoli or green beans to round out the meal.
