Ingredient List for Homemade Salisbury Steak.

  • Beef: Ground beef 80/20 lean to fat ratio is what I prefer to use.
  • Seasoning: an all purpose seasoning is perfect seasoning to get the perfect balance of salt, pepper, paprika and garlic.
  • Mushrooms: sautéed and added to the gravy.
  • Breadcrumbs: binder to keep the salisbury steak together.
  • Egg: works as a binder for the salisbury steak mix.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: adds a savory and umami flavor the meat.
  • Soy Sauce: adds a salty and umami flavor the meat.

Step 1: Prep the salisbury steak.

beef patties.

To make the homemade salisbury steak, I used an 80/20 blend of ground beef.  In a large mixing bowl, add the meat along with Dad’s All Purpose rub, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs and an egg. Mix the ingredients together by hand and start forming into patties.

Place the patties in the fridge to firm up.  This will help keep their form once cooked.

Step 2: How to make the perfect homemade salisbury steak on the grill.

Over the top cooking method

Preheat the grill to 350 degrees and set for indirect heat.  Place a cast iron on the grates and let it warm up.

Start on the gravy first.  Add in half a stick of butter, mushrooms and chopped onion.  Sauté until all the water cooks out. Add 1 tbsp of flour and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the raw flour taste to cook out.  Next, add in bone broth or beef stock, ketchup and a little soy sauce to the mixture.  Place the wire rack over the skillet and place the firmed up beef patties on top.  Place the entire cast iron skillet back on the grill and cook until the internal temp of the patties reaches 150 degrees.  This over the top method of cooking adds additional flavor to the gravy from the beef drippings.

Finally, place the salisbury steaks into the gravy and let it cook for another 5 minutes allowing the meat to soak up in the flavorful liquid.

Serve the homemade salisbury steak over some creamy mashed potatoes and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between a burger patty and salisbury steak?

A burger patty consists of only ground beef and seasoning. A salisbury steak includes ground beef, breadcrumbs and egg and other seasonings to give it a savory taste.

Can I make this in the oven or stove top?

Absolutely! All my recipes can be replicated in the oven, stove top or gas grill. You do not need a big green egg or weber grill to replicate any of my recipes.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4 People

Ingredients 

Beef Ingredients

  • 1 lbs Ground beef 80/20
  • 2 tbsp Dad's all purpose rub
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup Bone or Beef broth
  • 1/2 stick Unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1/2 Yellow onion
  • 1 tsp All Purpose rub

Instructions 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the beef, Dad's All Purpose rub, ketchup, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs and an egg. Mix the ingredients together by hand and start forming the patties.
  • Place the patties in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
  • Preheat the grill to 350 degrees and set for indirect heat.  Place a cast iron on the grates and let it warm up.
  • Add in half a stick of butter, mushrooms and chopped onion.  Sauté until all the water cooks out and add 1 tbsp of flour. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the raw flour taste to cook out. 
  • Add in bone or beef broth, ketchup soy sauce to the skillet. 
  • Place a wire rack over the skillet and place the firmed up beef patties on top.  Cook until the internal temp of the patties reaches 150 degrees. 
  • Place the salisbury steaks into the gravy and let it cook for another 5 minutes allowing the meat to soak up in the flavorful liquid.
  • Remove the skillet from the grill, allow it to rest for 5 minutes, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use an 80/20 ground beef chuck roast.  The additional fat adds flavor and keeps the meat tender once it renders down during the cooking process.
  • By smoking the salisbury steak over the broth, the liquid includes the beef drippings and the patty absorbs more of the smokiness.
