What To Serve With It

I love serving my homemade Salisbury steak with creamy mashed potatoes, which soak up the gravy perfectly, and garlicky green beans for a fresh, flavorful side. The combination makes the meal feel comforting yet balanced, and it’s always a hit with my family. You can’t go wrong with these classic pairings.

Mashed Potatoes

Creamy, buttery mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish for homemade Salisbury steak. I love how they soak up the rich gravy, making every bite even more delicious. To make them extra smooth, I boil Yukon Gold potatoes, then mash them with warm milk, butter, and a pinch of salt. Sometimes, I add a splash of cream for extra richness. If you’re feeling fancy, a sprinkle of chives or grated cheese takes them to the next level. Trust me, once you try this combo, you’ll never want to eat Salisbury steak without a heaping scoop of mashed potatoes beside it.

Garlic Green Beans

Garlic green beans are a simple yet flavorful side that pairs beautifully with homemade Salisbury steak, adding a fresh and vibrant touch to the meal. I love how quick they are to make—just sauté trimmed beans in olive oil with minced garlic until crisp-tender, then finish with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon. The garlic’s warmth balances the steak’s richness, while the beans keep things light. My grandma always said they’re the perfect “green bite” to round out a hearty dish. Trust me, once you try them, you’ll never skip this easy, tasty combo again!
