Instant Pot Salisbury Steaks with Mushroom Gravy

Step 1

Whisk together Gravy ingredients and set aside..

Step 2

Use a Food Processor to make the Steak Patties by adding all ingredients, except ground beef and processing until chopped fine and combined.

Step 3

Remove from food processor into a bowl, and add ground beef, stirring until well combined. Or add ground beef directly into food processor (if large enough), and use the pulse function of the food processor and pulse until combined.

Step 4

Use your hands to Shape Beef Mixture into 6 oval, flat patties.

Step 5

Pour 2 Tablespoons of Cornstarch onto a plate, and carefully dredge your patties in the cornstarch until coated on all sides. Set aside.

Step 6

Using your Instant Pot, select Sauté function, once it displays “hot” add oil and swirl to coat bottom and then add 2 Tablespoons Butter.

Step 7

Working in batches, place patties into the cooking pot of the now hot Instant Pot, directly into the oil and butter mixture, sear on both sides and remove to a plate. Cook only 1-2 at a time to avoid breaking patties when removing from the pan.

Step 8

Once you have browned the outside of the patties, add the remaining butter to the pan, and use a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits off the bottom so you do not get a burn notice. Once you have it scraped well, add in mushrooms, onions, and minced garlic, and cook 2-3 minutes, until onions are fragrant.

Step 9

Then add red wine or beef stock and use the wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot again, deglazing the cooking pot with the wooden spoon to scrape up any stuck on brown bits off the bottom. This is very important to do, or you will get a burn notice on your pot.

Step 10

After deglazing, continue cooking until Onions are soft, another 2-3 minutes. Then add in the gravy mixture you stirred together in the first step, and stir to combine it all.

Step 11

Carefully, place your seared Beef Patties into cooking pot into the gravy mixture. Do this carefully so they do not fall apart.
