In Good FlavorKick up dinner a notch with Beer-Braised Salisbury Steak. Beef patties are braised in a beer-infused mushroom and onion brown gravy until tender. Serve with mashed potato for a satisfying meal.
My family is always happy when Salisbury Steak hits the dinner table. Beef patties braised in a beer-infused mushroom and onion brown gravy until tender is pure comfort food. And because this meal is easy to assemble and affordable, I like making it for my gang!
It all starts with seasoned beef patties that are skillet-cooked until a nice coat of brown caramelization develops. They are then braised until tender. And I think this is where the show’s star comes in—the gravy! A touch of molasses provides sweetness, depth of flavor, and color. A little bit of ketchup adds a slight tang and sweetness. Finally, beer added to beef broth gives it that special somethin’ somethin’. I like to use Honey Brown, a medium-bodied lager (I am not being compensated for the shout-out). It is my go-to beer for cooking.
Worried about using beer? The heat cooks the alcohol out, but feel free to omit it if you want a virgin Salisbury Steak. Just use all beef broth. I guarantee the gravy will still be delicious!!
Salisbury Steak and creamy mashed potatoes are a match made in comfort food heaven. But if you are looking to switch up the sides, here are a few ideas:
- Instead of plain mash, how about sour cream and chive mashed potatoes? They are total YUM!! My son calls a mouthful of Salisbury steak, brown gravy, sour cream, and chive mashed potatoes a flavor blast, and I completely agree!
- Polenta is also a perfect side. It resembles mashed potatoes, but it’s creamy like it too!
- In my opinion, rice can be eaten with everything. Pair it with Salisbury Steak, and you won’t be disappointed!

Ingredients
For the beef patties:
For the gravy:
Instructions
- Combine all of the burger ingredients. Divide into quarters. Shape each into a 3/4″ thick oval.
- Whisk 1/2 cup beef broth and cornstarch in a small bowl until there are no lumps. Set aside.
- Add oil to a large, preheated skillet on medium to medium-high heat. Add beef patties. Cook for 3 minutes on each side until the outside is crusty and brown. Transfer to a platter. If there is not enough room in the skillet, cook patties in batches.
- Using the same skillet, on medium heat, add the onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Add salt and pepper. Cook, covered, stirring frequently for 6 minutes or until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
- Ad 1/2 can beer (the remaining 1/2 will be unused), molasses, and ketchup. Whisk ketchup smooth. Allow beer to come to a boil. Add beef broth and return the patties to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes.
- Whisk the cornstarch slurry again. Add 3/4 of it to the gravy. Bring the heat up to medium-high, stirring frequently until the gravy bubbles and thickens. If it is too thin after bubbling for a minute, add the remaining slurry. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Remove from heat.
- Great served with mashed potatoes, rice, or polenta.
- Makes 4 servings.
