Homemade Salisbury Steak

Going old school with this favorite recipe.

I’m a big fan of replicating recipes that bring me back to my childhood. This homemade salisbury steak will put old tv dinners to shame.  Growing up, this was one of my favorite dishes.  Savory, beefy, saucy and delicious.  It’s comfort food at it’s finest. Have dinner ready in 30 minutes and I promise no one will complain! 

Start with prepping the salisbury steak.

Homemade salisbury steak ingredients

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. Blend the ingredients together by hand and start forming the patties into oval shapes.

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

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 and add 1 tbsp of flour. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the raw flour taste to dissolve.  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 140 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!
