Ingredients
  

For the Savory Salisbury Steak Meatballs
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Gravy
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
For the Creamy Garlic Mash
  • 2 lb potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Pot for boiling potatoes
  • Potato masher or ricer
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Cooking thermometer (optional, for checking meatball doneness)

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by mixing the meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Form the mixture into meatballs, each about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a plate or baking sheet while you heat the skillet.
  3. Step 3: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs to the skillet. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color. Gradually pour in the beef broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Step 5: Once the gravy is ready, return the meatballs to the skillet and gently coat them with the gravy. Let them simmer on low heat for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  6. Step 6: While the meatballs are simmering, prepare the creamy garlic mash. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the peeled and cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic to infuse the potatoes with flavor.
  7. Step 7: Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
  8. Step 8: To serve, plate a generous scoop of creamy garlic mash and top it with the Salisbury steak meatballs and gravy. Garnish with parsley or additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
