This Instant Pot Salisbury Steak Styled Meatballs Recipe is inspired by the salisbury steak frozen dinners in the frozen food aisle. These yummy salisbury steak meatballs are lightened up by using both turkey meat and beef with mushrooms and take under 30 minutes to make! (Note cook time here is for the Instant Pot. Stovetop and Slowcooker timing will vary)
Take a handful of your mushrooms and mince it up into tiny pieces so it can go into meatballs.In your Instant Pot, sauté 1/2 cup of your onion with 1 tsp of olive oil and set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the sautéed onion, beef, turkey, panko, large egg, one tbsp of tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and 1/4 cup of beef broth.
After they've been mixed completely, shape 40 small meatballs. Turn the Instant Pot's sauté function back on, place in the rest of the oil, and lightly brown the meatballs in small batches so you don't overcrowd the Instant Pot.
In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the beef broth (1 cup), cornstarch, and Worcestershire sauce.
Once all the meatballs are browned, add in the rest of the liquids (the beef broth mix you just made), 1 cup of water, mustard powder, tomato paste (1 tbsp) the rest of the onions and mushrooms.
Give everything a good stir and put the lid on the Instant Pot. Turn the little nob to sealing and set the Instant Pot to 10 minutes on high pressure.
After 10 minutes, safely quick release, and serve the meatballs on their own or on top of mashed potatoes or rice. (If the liquid isn't as thick as you'd like it, you can add more cornstarch)
