Diner-Style Salisbury Steak
- SERVES
- 4
- COOK TIME
- 20 Min
This comforting dinner was popular in homes and diners across the country during the '50s and '60s. Our Diner-Style Salisbury Steak is beefy, hearty, and smothered in a flavor-packed mushroom gravy. To serve it the classic way, don't forget the green peas on the side!
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 pound ground beef
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (12-ounce) jar beef gravy
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
What to Do
- Coat a large skillet with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, scallions, bread crumbs, egg, mustard, salt, and pepper; mix well. Shape into four 1/2 inch-thick oval patties.
- Heat skillet over medium heat; cook patties 5 to 7 minutes per side or until no pink remains.
- Add gravy, water, horseradish, and mushrooms and cook 6 to 8 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally.
Notes
- Each serving makes a hearty meal, so you can certainly make smaller portions - just form the mixture into six or eight smaller patties.
- This recipe is inspired by the 1970s TV show, Happy Days. We're sure that "The Fonz," Richie, and the rest of the Cunninghams enjoyed this meal for dinner many times. For more recipes like this, check out our collection of Classic Old-Fashioned Recipes.

Yummy! I made these and was so happy with the results. I only had 1 pound of ground beef, and instead of yellow mustard I used Hickory Farms Sweet Hot Mustard, but I used the rest of the ingredients for the patties in the measurements shown in the recipe. I didn't have a jar of gravy, so I made my own with butter, flour, beef stock, salt pepper. That worked out well as a substitute. I sauteed the mushrooms in a little butter first and set them aside, then fried the patties and set them aside, then made the gravy. Finally I added the mushrooms to the gravy and nestled the patties in the sauce, making sure they were completely covered with all that yummy goodness. The results were savory and delicious. This recipe did not disappoint, and I will definitely be making this again.

We liked it better with the patties browned off, then stir frying the 'shrooms for a few minutes. Just seems to have a little more flavor that way. Everything else the same. Very tasty.

That's a good suggestion! I was wondering about the horseradish, though. I'm not a big fan of it but does it give it a better flavor without being overpowering? Maybe I should just cut the amount in half.

Hi there! You can definitely make this recipe with half of the recommended amount of horseradish, or omit it entirely if you wish. The Test Kitchen also suggests that you can vary how much horseradish that you use depending on how the heat of it. Enjoy!

This is a great old fashison style, just the same way my grandpa made it, I used toasted onion bagel for bread crumbs, and made my own gravy with sauteed onions and mushrooms with poultry seasoning

Just wonderful . . for a healthy change use ground turkey. I also made homemade pan gravy from sauteed onions then I added 1/4 c. sour cream. I will make again!!

I think there are alot of whiny "babies" that have nothing to do but complain about nothing...such as signing onto the site...write your password down and don't worry about breaking a nail when you enter it! By the way the recipe is delicious.

I wonder if those who think the Mr. Food site could be more 'user friendly' would care to share their thoughts on how to bring that about?

This was absolutely delicious. I sauted baby portobellos first & then pan fried the Salisbury steaks. Poured 2 cups of gravy over this & let simmer for a few minutes. Made fresh mashed potatoes & spinach to go with this. A real keeper!

Are you having a bad day? Chill out! People should be able to post what ever is on their minds. I agree with you, but, I also agree with them. I belong to a few other cooking sites and when I get e.mails for recipes and go to them, I don't have to sign in. I love Mr. Food and save quite a few recipes, it does take signing in first to do so, but, it's totally worth it. Sorry if I sounded a little harsh. Have a better day!!!

I love Salysbury. This one is completely different than the one I use to cook. I think is better. I just use my own gravy. I have anything jarred. But this recipe is amazing.

Get a small note pad or contact type pad and write down your passwords or use the 'remember my password' box most sites have. You can always go back later and 'look up' your contact info if need be.

I visit this web site every day and I never have to sign in for anything other than to post a comment on a recipe or on some other comment such as this moment I cannot imagine how the site could be more user friendly Mr Food subscribes to a particular philosophy -- quick and easy and I might add pretty darn tasty Practically all these recipes as in fact are most recipes other than baking are a general guideline from which you can deviate in whatever way you might want to achieve your desired result the flavors you and your family enjoy Don't like Worcestershire Use barbecue sauce Don't like Parmesan Use Pecorino Romano or Manchego or whatever you DO like Don't like wine in your food Use fruit juice or broth Your likes and dislikes are your own Own them Nobody else cares Bupkis about them believe me If…Read More the ten seconds it might take to log in for some special purpose is too much time out of your day then you should try learning some time management skills
