Ingredients
Salisbury Steak
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder or 1 tbsp Homemade Dry Onion Soup Seasoning (See Below)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Gravy
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small onion sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water for thickening
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cubed
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tbsp butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Make the Ground Beef Patties
- Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Shape into 4-5 oval patties.
Sear the Patties
- Set the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and add olive oil. Place the patties in the bottom of the pot and brown for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Gravy
- Add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the Instant Pot while still using the sauté function. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the cup of broth and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan; this step is important to avoid a burn notice. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Return the hamburger patties to the pot by placing them on top of the onions.
Add the Potatoes
- Place the silicone steamer basket on top of the meat and gravy. Add the cubed potatoes to the basket.
Pressure Cook
- Secure the instant pot lid and push the pressure cook button. Set for set for 10 minutes. Once done, let it naturally release pressure for 5 minutes, then quick release the steam release valve.
Make the Mashed Potatoes
- Carefully remove the steamer basket. Mash the potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
Thicken the Gravy
- Turn the Instant Pot to the "Sauté" setting. Stir in cornstarch mixed with water. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the broth mixture and cook until thickened.
