Instant Pot Salisbury Steaks
If you are looking for yet another idea for your ground beef, this flavorful Salisbury Steak recipe is a great option. Tasty beef patties in a rich, mushroom-onion gravy. All made in the pressure cooker.
What is the difference between salisbury steak and a hamburger?
Hamburgers are a basic ground beef patty seasoned with salt & pepper, and served on a bun with various fixin’s.
Salisbury Steaks, named for the guy who first came up with the recipe, are smaller patties, cooked in the sauce, and are more heavily seasoned, and have more ingredients.
Most often you will find onion, Worcestershire, bread crumbs, an egg, garlic, and more. Almost like meatloaf, though no milk.
What if I don’t want to use mushrooms?
That’s fine, though it will change the flavor of the gravy a little. Not to worry though because you can just leave the mushrooms out and still have a wonderful result.
Do I have to use red wine?
No, not if you don’t want to. You can use beef broth or an unsweetened grape juice or pomegranate juice.
What can I serve with Instant Pot Salisbury Steaks?
You can serve Salisbury Steaks over anything that takes gravy well, such as mashed potatoes (my favorite).
The delicious gravy also goes well over rice, cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower, biscuits, and even toast!

Instant Pot Salisbury Steaks
Ingredients
Meat Mixture
- 1 Egg
- ¼ cup Grated Onion
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- 3 tsp Dried Parsley
- 3 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- ¼ cup Bread Crumbs
- 1 lb Ground Beef (about 90% lean)
- ½ lb Ground Sausage
For Browning the Patties
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Gravy Mixture
- 1 lg Onion, sliced thin or diced
- ⅓ cup Red Wine**
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 8 oz Crimini Mushrooms*, sliced
- 2 lg cloves Garlic, pressed or finely minced
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 2 cups Beef Broth
- 3 Tbsp Ketchup
To Thicken
- 3-4 Tbsp Corn Starch
- 4 Tbsp Cold Water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the egg and whisk /beat it. Then add the grated onion, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, Worcestershire, and bread crumbs. Mix well to combine.
- Add the ground beef and the ground sausage. Use your fingers or a fork to mix the meat and seasonings together to combine.
- Form 8 small, thin patties (about 3 oz ea.) and place them on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for at least 1 hour to give the flavors time to develop. If you don't have time to do that, go ahead and proceed. They will still be tasty!
- Turn on the Sauté setting. When hot, add the oil.
- Brown the patties in two batches, moving to a plate when done. Don't cook all the way through, just do a quick sear on each side. Set aside.
- Add the onion and stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the red wine and stir some more.
- Add the butter and the mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot.
- Add the garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Mix the beef broth and the ketchup together and pour into the pot.
- Add the patties back into the pot. Be sure to cover with the sauce as much as possible.
- Turn off the sauté setting. Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
- Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button or dial to select 7 minutes. High Pressure. The pot will take several minutes to come to pressure.
- When the cook cycle has finished, turn off the pot and let it sit undisturbed for 10 minutes (10 minute natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining steam/pressure.
- When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid.
- Remove the patties to a plate and turn the sauté setting back on.
- Mix the corn starch and water together. Stir into the sauce as soon as it starts to simmer. Stir constantly until it thickens. If you like your gravy thicker, use another Tbsp of corn starch mixed with 1 Tbsp of cold water.
- Turn off the sauté setting and add the patties back into the pot and cover with the gravy.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, mashed cauliflower, bread, or whatever you like!

What kind of sausage did everyone use? The recipe didn’t seem to be specific on this, unless I missed it
A ground bulk sausage. Use your favorite. I like the Regular Jimmy Dean one.
What type of red wine do you use when cooking this?
Cabernet, merlot, or something else I like to drink.
Incredible. Impressive. Wife says best gravy I’ve ever made. Meat was tender. Followed recipe closely. Made broth with Better than Boullion. Swear by the stuff. Wine, ketchup, butter, mushrooms… not sure what does it, but “git your biskits ready” Saved recipe, about to make it again. Instant pot love.
This was delicious. I used all beef since I didn’t have sausage on hand and used baby portabella mushrooms as that’s what I had on hand. The patties were flavorful as was the gravy and there was plenty of gravy. This is a keeper I will make over and over.
Q5 star recipeThis was FABULOUS. Thank you. I used 1.5 ground beef and 1/2 lb of sausage. I also increased the wine to 1/2 cup due to increased meat. It used baby Bella mushroom. My son in law has never had this and saved one of the patties the next day for a cold sandwich. He loved it. Thanks again. Go to recipe.
This was the best. Thank you for sharing. Like all your other recipes I’ve tried very good. Once again thank you
I followed this recipe to every last detail- and it came out PERFECTLY!!! It is indescribably delicious.The onions and mushrooms are so tender. The meat is immensely flavorful and fork tender. My 2 year old devoured this! This recipe is a keeper for sure!
Can I use my 3qt mini instant pot for this recipe. Looks delicious
Yes! If you don’t want as much, just reduce the recipe by half.
Do you have to use pork?
No, you can use all beef.
My husband said this is the best meal I have ever made! Thank you!
Wow! That’s so great! Thank you.
