Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 recommended
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Gravy

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 pounds potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup milk warm
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs chopped, e.g., parsley, chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Skillet
  • Saucepan
  • Potato Masher

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place them on a plate.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the meatballs on all sides. Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Return the meatballs to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
  7. While the meatballs are simmering, place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a saucepan. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  8. Drain the potatoes well. Return them to the saucepan over low heat for 1 minute to dry out any excess moisture.
  9. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add warm milk, 4 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  10. Serve the Salisbury steak meatballs and gravy over the garlic herb mashed potatoes.

Notes

You can add sliced mushrooms to the gravy for extra flavor. For a richer gravy, you can use half and half instead of milk in the mashed potatoes.
