If you\u2019re looking for a comforting, hearty meal that is easy to prepare and full of flavor, Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak with Garlic Herb Gravy<\/strong> is a perfect choice. This classic American-style dish features tender beef patties slowly cooked in a rich, savory gravy infused with garlic and herbs. Because it cooks slowly, the meat becomes incredibly juicy and flavorful, making it an ideal dinner for busy days when you want a homemade meal without spending hours in the kitchen.<\/p>\n This recipe is also great for family dinners since it pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or roasted vegetables. The slow cooker does most of the work, allowing all the flavors to blend together into a delicious, comforting dish.<\/p>\n Start by placing the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Add the Italian seasoned bread crumbs, milk, dry onion soup mix, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt if desired.<\/p>\n Using clean hands or a spoon, gently mix the ingredients until everything is well combined. Be careful not to overmix the meat, because overmixing can make the patties dense and tough instead of tender.<\/p>\n The bread crumbs and milk help keep the meat moist while cooking, while the onion soup mix adds a deep savory flavor.<\/p>\n Divide the beef mixture into about 5 or 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into oval or round patties about \u00be inch thick.<\/p>\n Try to keep the patties similar in size so they cook evenly in the slow cooker.<\/p>\n Place them on a plate or tray while you prepare them for browning.<\/p>\n Spread the all-purpose flour on a plate. Lightly coat each patty on both sides with flour.<\/p>\n This step helps the patties develop a nice golden crust when browned and also helps thicken the gravy later during cooking.<\/p>\n Shake off any excess flour before placing the patties in the pan.<\/p>\n Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.<\/p>\n Once the oil is hot, add the patties and cook them for about 2\u20133 minutes per side, until they develop a light golden-brown crust.<\/p>\n You do not need to fully cook the patties at this stage. The goal is simply to brown the outside to enhance flavor.<\/p>\n After browning, transfer the patties into the bottom of your slow cooker.<\/p>\n In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, dry au jus mix, water or beef broth, garlic powder, thyme (or parsley), and onion powder if using.<\/p>\n Whisk everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.<\/p>\n This gravy will slowly cook with the beef and absorb all the delicious meat flavors.<\/p>\n Pour the prepared gravy evenly over the patties inside the slow cooker.<\/p>\n Cover with the lid and cook using one of the following settings:<\/p>\n During the cooking process, the beef patties will become tender and the gravy will thicken into a rich sauce packed with flavor.<\/p>\n Avoid opening the slow cooker too often, because heat escapes and can increase cooking time.<\/p>\n If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to create a slurry.<\/p>\n About 20 minutes before serving, stir this mixture into the gravy and let it continue cooking until the sauce thickens.<\/p>\n Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak is best served hot with side dishes that soak up the delicious gravy. Some great options include:<\/p>\n Simply place a steak patty on the plate and spoon the garlic herb gravy generously over the top.<\/p>\n Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3\u20134 days<\/strong>. The flavor often becomes even better the next day as the gravy continues to develop.<\/p>\n To reheat, warm the steak and gravy gently in a pan over medium-low heat or in the microwave until heated through.<\/p>\n This dish can also be frozen for up to 2 months<\/strong>. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.<\/p>\n Tip for the best flavor:<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak with Garlic Herb Gravy If you\u2019re looking for a comforting, hearty meal that is easy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2713,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2712"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2714,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2712\/revisions\/2714"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Ingredients<\/h2>\n
