What To Serve With It
When I make Salisbury steak, I love pairing it with creamy mashed potatoes—they soak up the savory gravy perfectly. A side of steamed veggies, like green beans or carrots, adds freshness and balance to the meal. It’s a simple combo that feels hearty and satisfying without much fuss.
Mashed Potatoes
Creamy mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, and they’re a perfect sidekick to homemade Salisbury steak. I love how their smooth texture soaks up the savory gravy, making every bite just melt in your mouth. For the best mash, I use russet potatoes boiled until tender, then mash them with butter, warm milk, and a pinch of salt. Sometimes, I add a bit of garlic or sour cream for extra flavor. Whether you whip them fluffy or keep them rustic, they’ll elevate your meal. Trust me, once you pair Salisbury steak with these, it’s hard to imagine eating it any other way.
Steamed Vegetables
Steamed veggies are a quick, healthy option that pairs perfectly with homemade Salisbury steak, balancing the richness with a crisp, fresh bite. I love using broccoli, carrots, or green beans because they’re simple to prep and cook in just minutes. A little sprinkle of salt or a drizzle of lemon juice brings out their natural flavors without overpowering the dish. Sometimes, I’ll add a pat of butter for extra richness, but it’s not necessary. Steaming keeps the veggies tender yet firm, making them the ideal side to complement the savory steak. It’s a combo that’s as nutritious as it is satisfying.
