Vegan Salisbury Steak Recipe

I had a craving for simple and satisfying, old school stick to your ribs comfort food and this dinner of vegan Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and peas was exactly what I was looking for! This simple recipe delivers big flavor that even a meat eater will love!

The first bite took me right back to the nostalgia of my childhood of eating TV dinners and watching The Brady Bunch in our wood-paneled living room.

These juicy vegan hamburger steaks covered in rich mushroom gravy have just the right texture and all the same make-you-want-to-lick-the-plate classic homestyle goodness you expect but without the heavy meat and dairy ingredients many of us grew up with. My whole family loves this classic dish! 

The key to achieving the perfect throwback experience with vegan and vegetarian salisbury steaks similar to a traditional recipe is using a good quality ground beef substitute and vegan beef-style vegetable broth (no vital wheat gluten or soy sauce here). In my opinion, Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods make the best ground products on the market right now and I have used both with this recipe.

For the broth called for in the savory gravy, I like Better Than Bouillon’s No-Beef Base.

Serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes and peas or green beans for the full classic effect.

This one is sure to become a family favorite!

Vegan Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy - Simple and satisfying, old school stick to your ribs comfort food. This one is sure to become a family favorite!

Ingredients for Vegan Salisbury Steak:

You will need the following:

  • 1 vegan egg substitute – I like VeganEgg or Bob’s Red Mill for this recipe
  • 1 pound vegan ground beef – My current favorite brands are Impossible and Beyond Meat
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons mild-flavored plant milk, such as oat or unsweetened almond
  • 1/2 package dry onion soup mix
  • 2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce – I use Wizard brand
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 8-ounce package cremini mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion
  • 2 1/2 cups vegan beef-style broth – Better Than Bouillon’s No-Beef Base is a good one.

How to Make Vegan Salisbury Steak:

Prepare vegan egg replacer:
 
STEP ONE: Prepare the egg replacer according to package directions. Set aside.
 
For the patties:
 
STEP TWO: Into a large mixing bowl, add vegan ground beef, bread crumbs, egg replacer mixture, milk, and 1/2 package onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
 
STEP THREE: Use your hands or a food processor to mix well, until all ingredients are fully incorporated, then form into 5 patties.
 
STEP FOUR: Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add patties and cook until browned, 3-5 minutes on each side. Remove patties from skillet and set aside.
 
For the mushroom onion gravy:
 
STEP FIVE: Place the same skillet used for cooking the patties over medium-high heat then add butter.
 
STEP SIX: When butter is melted, add mushrooms and onions. Sauté 3-5 minutes, until tender.
 
STEP SEVEN: Add garlic and saute 1 minute more.
 
STEP EIGHT: Stir in flour and remaining 1/2 package onion soup mix.
 
STEP NINE: Gradually add vegan beef-style broth, stirring continuously.
 
STEP TEN: Reduce heat to medium and simmer, continuing to stir until thickened, about 3 minutes.
 
STEP ELEVEN: Season to taste with salt and pepper,
 
Put it all together:
 
STEP TWELVE: Add patties back into the skillet with the gravy. Reduce heat to low and simmer 25-30 minutes. Serve hot.

Enjoy!

    Where do you buy vegan ground beef

      Ground beef substitutes are available in most large chain supermarkets and a few of the smaller ones. Usually, they are found in the refrigerated vegan/vegetarian/health food sections.

    Very good! I used chai seeds as the egg substitute because that’s what i had on hand.

    Ok so I didn’t read the instructions very carefully and bought beyond meat beef crumbles instead of the pound of beyond meat ground beef. So it didn’t stick together at first. So I thawed the crumbles and put half of them in a food processor. Added extra egg substitute (used ground flax seed with water because that’s what I had) and it held together well after that. Leaving half of the crumbles whole still gave it a good texture like a beef patty. Next time I will use the beyond meat ground beef and see how it turns out. But it was pretty good despite the lack of attention paid to the ingredients list. I also used better than boullion vegetable broth (because that’s what I had) and added liquid smoke, Worcestershire shore and soy sauce to give it that beef broth effect. It worked out well. I’m glad I salvaged this because I was a little upset with myself for making such an obvious mistake. 🙂

    I made this the other night for my family and it was soooo good! I made this recipe due to food sensitivities so I used real beef broth and a flax egg and it still turned out great. This is such a forgiving and delicious recipe. I can’t wait to make it again! 10/10

    This is one of the best things I have had in a long time! I made the recipe almost exactly – my only change was that I used 1.5 flax eggs. I didn’t know how much I’d need so I made 2 and just added what was needed to get the right texture. I love that you use normal ingredients and therefore, there’s nothing to dislike in the final dish! Thank you – this is now being added into the dinner rotation!

    Hi Holly! Commenting to say that this is The 🤌🏼 Salisbury Steak recipe. I did use milk and egg because the partner is vegetarian and she prefers that.

    I’m an omnivore, but the cook for our little family, and this recipe KNOCKS it out of the park. One of our go to comfort foods on a cold or long day that is so savory, satisfying, and sticks to your bones. It always makes us smile before we dig in. Thank you for sharing this recipe. 5/5

    Making it again tonight

      Hi Shannon ~ Nowhere in this post is the Lipton brand mentioned but just to double-check your comment, I looked up the brand again and recommend you do too. Lipton Onion Soup mix does not contain any animal products.

    Oh my goodness, this was delicious! I used a combination of dehydrated beef crumbles (rehydrated per package directions) and 2 defrosted vegan burgers. It worked great! This will be in our regular rotation for sure. It makes a perfect Sunday supper.

    Rating given is because onion soup mix is not vegan, unless you are using a brand unknown to me. Read the label: I was horrified, as I had been using various brands of the mix for dips and soups for years!

      That doesn’t seem fair when there are absolutely vegan soup mixes available. Check Amazon or the vegan aisle at your grocery store. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised! 😊

    This looks like a great recipe to try. When making the mushroom sauce do you add a tablespoon or two of the flour just till its thickened enough or is there an exact measurement? Thank you for your work it is a blessing to have help preparing meals.

      The recipe states 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, which is added in Step 8, akthough you could certainly use less for a thinner sauce.

    Had a package of Beyond Burger that I needed to use up. This was the perfect choice. We added a little herbs and a splash of balsamic to the gravy. Every thing else we followed the recipe. Simply delicious. And leftovers for tomorrow!
