Step-by-step
- Add all steak ingredients, except butter, to a large mixing bowl. Combine ingredients with your hands, avoiding overmixing. Shape into 6 patties and set on a platter.
- Let the steaks rest (for breadcrumbs to absorb moisture) while slicing mushrooms and onion.
- In a medium bowl, whisk gravy ingredients together (except cornstarch and water), and set aside.
- Set the Instant Pot to Saute, Normal Temperature. Once hot, add butter. Brown steaks on both sides in batches (about 2 minutes). Wash the platter and return steaks to it. Set aside.

My Go-To Weeknight Dinner: Instant Pot Salisbury Steak
As a busy working mom, finding time to cook a delicious and healthy dinner can feel like a Herculean task. Between juggling work deadlines, school pick-ups, and endless to-do lists, the last thing I want is to spend hours in the kitchen. That's why I've become a huge fan of the Instant Pot – it's my secret weapon for whipping up flavorful meals in a fraction of the time. And this Instant Pot Salisbury Steak recipe? It's a game-changer. Forget the hours of simmering and browning – this recipe delivers tender, juicy Salisbury steak with a rich mushroom gravy in under 30 minutes. It's so easy, even my kids can (almost) help!
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. You start by combining ground beef (I prefer grass-fed for a richer flavor), breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and a blend of herbs and spices. The result is a flavorful patty that cooks up perfectly in the Instant Pot. While the steaks are resting, I quickly saute some mushrooms and onions, creating the base for a luscious gravy. The gravy itself is incredibly easy to make, requiring only a few simple ingredients whisked together and then thickened to perfection. The whole process is remarkably efficient, allowing me to spend more time with my family and less time slaving over a hot stove.
I usually serve this Salisbury steak with a side of creamy mashed potatoes (a recipe I'll share soon!), or sometimes I'll opt for some egg noodles – the kind from Jovial are my favorite. A simple side salad rounds out the meal perfectly. It's a complete, balanced, and satisfying dinner that everyone in my family loves. The best part? There's very little cleanup involved! The Instant Pot does most of the work, leaving me with just a few dishes to wash. The convenience alone makes this recipe a staple in our household. This recipe has become a regular on our dinner rotation and its always a crowd-pleaser. The rich gravy, tender steak, and ease of preparation make it a true winner.
Beyond its convenience, this Salisbury steak is incredibly versatile. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor combinations. I often add a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor, but other spices like garlic powder or oregano would also be delicious. You could also substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. The possibilities are endless!
But the real magic of this recipe isn't just about the delicious food; it's about the time it saves me. In a world where everyone is constantly busy, this Instant Pot Salisbury Steak is a lifesaver. It’s a comforting, classic dish, elevated by the speed and convenience of the Instant Pot. And that, my friends, is priceless.
