I do love how quick and easy it is to make my Instant Pot Salisbury Steak, it’s full of tasty ingredients including ground beef, Panko, egg, seasoning and served with a rich mushroom and onion gravy.
Tips for Making Instant pot Salisbury Steak
- I used 90/10 ground beef and it worked really well and didn’t render to much fat, I think if you go with leaner beef you may find it a bit dry.
- Ensure that you finely chop the onions otherwise it will be hard for the patties to hold together.
- Cook the onions until they start to turn a golden color, this will make them a little sweeter and make your Instant Pot Salisbury Steaks taste awesome!
- Use a good quality gluten free beef broth concentrate or bouillon cube crumbled into the patties, we like Kitchen Accomplice Beef Broth Concentrate
- Serve this over warm mashed potatoes, they go really well together!
What is Salisbury Steak?
Salisbury Steak is a classic American recipe that’s been around since 1897 and was originally created by an American physician named James Salisbury who believed it to be a health food that should be eaten three times a day![1]
It typically contains ground beef, onions, and breadcrumbs and various seasonings depending on the recipe and remains pretty similar to the original recipe.
What is the difference between a Salisbury steak and a hamburger steak?
Hamburg Steaks and Salisbury Steaks are similar in that they are both ground beef patties and often contain onions, seasonings.
The Hamburg steaks often contains milk as it’s thought to enhance the flavor.
