Instructions
- Add all the meatball ingredients (excluding the olive oil) to a large bowl and mix well, use your hands. Shape into 1 inch meatballs. You should get about 30 meatballs.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium to high heat. Add meatballs and cook. If you're using a large skillet all meatballs should fit in one batch otherwise, you might have to fry them in a couple batches. Cook the meatballs on all sides, add more oil if needed. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
- To the same skillet add butter and melt. Add onion and cook until onion is soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion and stir. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. (If using cornstarch make a slurry with equal amounts water and cornstarch) Add broth and remaining gravy ingredients to skillet, and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, sauce should thicken. If the sauce is too thick add a bit more beef broth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
- When the gravy is done add the meatballs back to the skillet and toss them around so they're covered in the gravy. Garnish with parsley.

Notes
- Don’t overmix the meat! Mix just until combined—overworking makes the meatballs dense.
- Searing = flavor. Browning the meatballs locks in juices and adds deep, caramelized flavor.
- Worcestershire sauce is a must! It’s what gives Salisbury steak its signature flavor.
- Use low-sodium broth. This lets you control the salt level, especially if you’re using seasoning salt.
- Gravy too thick? Whisk in a splash of broth. Too thin? Simmer a bit longer.
- Want to freeze? Cook the meatballs first, then freeze. Make the gravy fresh when serving for best texture.
- Make-ahead tip: Meatballs and gravy store separately in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of broth to loosen up the gravy.
