Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering and measuring all your ingredients for the Salisbury Steak Meatballs. Finely chop the onion to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the meat mixture. Preheat your skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to gently mix until just combined.
  3. Shape the meat mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch balls, yielding about 12-15 meatballs. Place them on a plate as you shape each ball.
  4. Add a splash of oil to your preheated skillet. Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer.
  6. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and whisk it into the simmering beef broth until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  8. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the Salisbury Steak Meatballs warm, garnished with parsley or chives.
