Easy Meatballs with Gravy
This Salisbury steak recipe starts with homemade meatballs! I absolutely love meatballs from scratch, they have great flavor and always come out so nice and juicy.
To Make Tender Meatballs:
- Do not over mix the meat mixture
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure all meatballs are the same size
- Ensure any add ins (Enjoy onions) are chopped small
- A little bit of milk adds a lot of moisture and keeps the meatballs tender
- Brown meatballs to add flavor and help them hold their shape
How To Make Salisbury Steak Gravy
The gravy for these salisbury steak meatballs is definitely my favorite part. It is really as simple as whisking the ingredients together and pouring it over the browned meatballs.
Reducing the sauce brings out the flavors out and helps to thicken it. Decrease the heat, simmer for about 20 minutes, and serve! If you’d Enjoy a thicker gravy, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water to make a slurry and add it bit by bit to the gravy to thicken it. If it is too thick, just add a bit more broth.
Can You Freeze Salisbury Steak?
Yes, just Enjoy a regular salisbury steak recipe, you can freeze these meatballs and the gravy. Defrost in the fridge overnight.
When defrosting sauces thickened with cornstarch, you’ll sometimes notice it has a bit of a jelly texture and some of the water/liquid may separate. Heat it on the stove top over medium heat until heated through. If the sauce thickens, you can create a cornstarch slurry to thicken it to desired consistency.
