Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 skillet or frying pan
  • 1 baking sheet (optional)
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 cooking spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs Can substitute with crushed crackers or oats.
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped About ½ cup.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Optional for thickening.
  • 1 tablespoon water Optional for thickening.

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
  • Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, producing about 12-15 meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the meatballs, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Once browned, gently pour the beef broth over the meatballs in the skillet.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the meatballs simmer in the broth for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl until smooth, then stir it into the skillet. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  • Serve the Salisbury Steak Meatballs hot, spooning the gravy over them. Enjoy with mashed potatoes or your favorite side.
