I recently discovered the magic that is Salisbury Steak gravy! I kept seeing Salisbury Steak pop up in my Pinterest feed, and knew I needed to give it a try. I bought everything, then in my rush, I screwed up significantly by browning my ground beef instead of making patties. I decided to rescue it and made a Salisbury Steak Hamburger Gravy instead, and it was magical.
I licked my plate clean. And knew my love affair with Salisbury Steak was born. So then came the mission to not only perfect the flavor of the gravy but make it as Eazy Peazy as possible.
You guys know I am obsessed with my Instant Pot. So I knew I wanted to take the amazing flavor of Salisbury Steak and make it Instant Pot friendly. And it worked out better than I could have planned. So ta dah…Instant pot Salisbury steak! Magic!
Using the saute feature, you get deliciously tender mushrooms and onions, a great sear on the patties, and then you let it pressure cook to do the rest. By cooking the patties in the gravy, they get infused with additional flavor, and are absolutely amazing. Then add a little parsley to get some freshness, and serve it all over mashed potatoes.
If you are really feeling daring you could even cook your potatoes on the trivet over the steaks and get a complete meal in one cook! If I had thought about it in time I would have done that.
I hope you love these Salisbury Steaks as much as I do. They are juicy, tender, deliciously flavorful beef, smothered in the best gravy. I love it! You will too.

- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- Salt and pepper
Steak Patties
- ¼ cup white onion
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbs soy sauce
- 1 Tbs Better than Bouillon beef flavor
- 1/2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tsp dijon mustard
- ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 lb ground beef
The Rest
- 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
- 1 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 Tablespoons Butter divided
- 8 ounces sliced Baby Bella mushrooms
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1 Tbs minced garlic
- 1/4 cup Red Wine or Beef Broth
Slurry
- 2 Tbs corn starch to use for gravy thickener
- 3 Tbs Water
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together Gravy ingredients and set aside..
- Use a Food Processor to make the Steak Patties by adding all ingredients, except ground beef and processing until chopped fine and combined.
- Remove from food processor into a bowl, and add ground beef, stirring until well combined. Or add ground beef directly into food processor (if large enough), and use the pulse function of the food processor and pulse until combined.
- Use your hands to Shape Beef Mixture into 6 oval, flat patties.
- Pour 2 Tablespoons of Cornstarch onto a plate, and carefully dredge your patties in the cornstarch until coated on all sides. Set aside.
- Using your Instant Pot, select Sauté function, once it displays “hot” add oil and swirl to coat bottom and then add 2 Tablespoons Butter.
- Working in batches, place patties into the cooking pot of the now hot Instant Pot, directly into the oil and butter mixture, sear on both sides and remove to a plate. Cook only 1-2 at a time to avoid breaking patties when removing from the pan.
- Once you have browned the outside of the patties, add the remaining butter to the pan, and use a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits off the bottom so you do not get a burn notice. Once you have it scraped well, add in mushrooms, onions, and minced garlic, and cook 2-3 minutes, until onions are fragrant.
- Then add red wine or beef stock and use the wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot again, deglazing the cooking pot with the wooden spoon to scrape up any stuck on brown bits off the bottom. This is very important to do, or you will get a burn notice on your pot.
- After deglazing, continue cooking until Onions are soft, another 2-3 minutes. Then add in the gravy mixture you stirred together in the first step, and stir to combine it all.
- Carefully, place your seared Beef Patties into cooking pot into the gravy mixture. Do this carefully so they do not fall apart.
- Put lid on, and lock into place, set pressure valve to “sealing” and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes is up, let pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
- Remove Steaks/Patties from the pot, and turn pot “off”.
- Then press the Saute button, and simmer the gravy to thicken. While it simmers mix together 3 Tablespoons of cold water and 2 Tablespoons of corn starch to form a slurry, then add that into the pot, and stir. bSimmer for 2-3 minutes to let the gravy thicken.
- Taste gravy, season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve with gravy spooned over steaks/patties, and over mashed potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley
