Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Mix ground beef, onion soup mix, Italian bread crumbs, eggs, and water until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 2 loaves.
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with cooking spray and place the loaves inside.
- Lightly spray the tops of the loaves with cooking spray to help browning.
- Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
- Add gravy to the pan and bake at 350°F for an additional 30 minutes.
- Stir in frozen peas with the gravy and loaves.
- Bake for another 15 minutes until peas are heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme into the beef mixture. If you prefer a healthier alternative, substitute ground turkey for the beef or use whole wheat bread crumbs instead of Italian. If you're short on time, you can skip the oven baking step and cook the loaves on the stovetop in a skillet until browned and cooked through.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Salisbury steak with creamy mashed potatoes or over egg noodles for a hearty meal. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad pairs nicely, adding a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors. For a comforting twist, try serving with Bbq Rice for a delicious combination that enhances the meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Salisbury steak ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the meat mixture and form the loaves ahead of time. Simply cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. This allows the flavors to meld and makes meal prep much easier.
What can I use instead of gravy?
If you want to avoid jarred gravy, you can make a simple homemade gravy using beef broth, flour, and seasonings. Just whisk together 2 tablespoons of flour with 1 cup of beef broth in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened, and then pour it over the meatloaves before baking.
Can I freeze the leftovers?
Absolutely! You can freeze leftover Salisbury steak in an airtight container for up to 2 months. For best results, separate the loaves and gravy into portions before freezing. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
