  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • For the Rich Mushroom Gravy:
  • 8 oz fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste or ketchup
  • 1/2 cup non-alcoholic red wine alternative (or additional beef broth)
  • For the Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes:
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme, or rosemary), chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes
  2. 1. Peel and cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. 2. While the potatoes cook, gently warm the milk and melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Mince the fresh garlic and finely chop the fresh herbs.
  4. 3. Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly in a colander. Return the potatoes to the hot, empty pot. Add the warmed milk, melted butter, minced garlic, and fresh herbs. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  5. 4. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cover and keep warm.
  6. Step 2: Form and Sear the Salisbury Steak Meatballs
  7. 1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, grated onion, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  8. 2. Roll the mixture into uniform 1.5-inch meatballs.
  9. 3. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  10. Step 3: Craft the Rich Mushroom Gravy
  11. 1. Reduce heat to medium. If there's excess fat in the skillet, drain some off, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons.
  12. 2. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  13. 3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  14. 4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and non-alcoholic red wine alternative. Whisk until smooth.
  15. 5. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and let it thicken for 5-7 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  16. Step 4: Finish and Serve
  17. 1. Return the seared meatballs to the gravy and stir gently to coat. Cover and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
  18. 2. Serve the creamy Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes topped with Salisbury steak meatballs and rich mushroom gravy. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't overmix the meatball ingredients to avoid tough meatballs. For the gravy, adjust the consistency by simmering longer if too thin or adding broth if too thick. Fresh garlic and herbs are recommended for the best flavor in the mashed potatoes.
