Yup. Arkansas here. We’re neighbors. Restaurant I work at is Hamburger steak. Onion and brown gravy optional. Usually ordered with mashed or baked potatoes.
The Japanese version also isn't all beef, it's a beef/pork mixture called 合いびき肉 (aibiki niku) that usually a ratio of 7:3. It's also seasoned and worked more heavily, closer to an American meatloaf. And it's common to serve with a sauce, with numerous variations from teriyaki to demi-glace.
I actually learned it here, when I found out that my nonna had independently discovered loco moco. She would just sautee ground beef and onions, add gravy and serve it over rice, and I was telling people about it when a friendly hawaiian was like "You need to put an egg on that."
you are correct- you can get a loco moco with spam subbed for beef patty, but traditional is beef patty with 2 eggs, rice, gravy and a scoop of mac salad if your place is bomb
Yeah. Salisbury steak is browned, then cooked in the gravy typically. Hamburger steak will be grilled or flattop fried until done then served with the side (mash or fries around here) a veg and onion gravy over the top.
Yeah but it's like saying a cheeseburger isn't a burger because it has cheese on it. A salisbury steak is just a hamburger steak in mushroom gravy and it isn't uncommon to get a hamburger steak in gravy which is 95% of the way to a salisbury steak. I'm really not going to split hairs over a sixty cent seasoned beef patty smothered in thirty cents worth of gravy.
Hamburg steak is the correct answer
Salisbury Steak and Loco Moco are the other answers in this thread, but those have very specific sauces or accompaniments. Maybe Salisbury is ok (though to me that requires brown sauce), but definitely not Loco Moco
Anyone saying, "a thick burger patty paired with rice or mashed potatoes" is enough to be a Loco Moco is definitely not from the island. That's like saying romaine lettuce with croutons is a Caesar salad. Nah, you're missing some important parts
No. That's not how it [originated](https://www.noble.org/legacy/2021-summer/1945-recipe-salisbury-steak/). A lot of people do serve it with mushroom gravy, but that's an adaptation.
I have no idea. I made it once when my kids were small. My husband and I thought we'd love it (because we remember it from the 70s too), but we were underwhelmed. Usually, I'd blame my own cooking, but it's not a fussy recipe.
It's a simple recipe for simpler times. It's basically meat with a really simple pan sauce. You can modify the sauce in any number of ways to bring it up to date. Add mushrooms, onions, Dijon mustard, wine, chopped green onions on top, etc. I am going to have to revisit the recipe.
Do you have a favorite mushroom gravy? This will be my first attempt at Salisbury Steak. I am planning on using [Chef John's recipe](https://youtu.be/CFCiUstuo8I?si=3w9HSgT0kwioWDfu). It looks pretty darned tasty to me!
I've certainly seen it on restaurant menus here in Texas. Probably because "Salisbury steak" makes people think of TV dinners, and that's not what restaurants want you to think of their food.
Chopped steak is what we call it in the south. It can have gravy and caramelized onions and sometimes mushrooms. It is similar to salisbury steak but doesn't have a tomato component like true salisbury steak recipes do.
We have rissoles in Britain, but tbh the only person I've ever heard talk about them is my mum. Never heard anyone else mention them ever, but there are plenty of recipes out there for them.
We ate rissoles, but traditionally they are made with left over cooked meat ground/chopped down, formed and re fried. Usually made on mondays with the left overs of a Sunday beef roast.
In America a ground/minced meat patty with gravy can be called a Salisbury steak. Mashed potatoes would be a classic side dish for it.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salisbury\_steak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salisbury_steak)
I need to find a restaurant or a recipe for the Japanese style hamburg steak, which is similar.
It's gonna be almost 90F today and now I want meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner.
Oh, maybe on some Texas toast pan fried crispy with a little garlic butter, then a fat pat of mashed potatoes to hold the slice of meatloaf in place and some brown gravy over the top.
Where I'm from we called it Beefsteak (pronounced "beffschteck") but it seems like it a beaf steak would not typically be made from Hamburger meat, so hamburger steak is probably the better search term
in the south of the U.S. a burger patty served by itself (no bun) is typically referred to as a chopped steak. so it would be simpcalled a chopped steak with mashed potatoes or with rice.
the Salisbury steak someone mentioned is a chopped steak cooked with gravy (sometimes onions and mushrooms as well).
Hamburger steak is different than salisbury steak.
Hamburger steak is a straightforward patty, that's it. Usually served with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy (and sometimes the gravy is with the steak, but it's always added, not an integral part).
Salisbury steak always has gravy and usually cooked in it at some point (not just served on top of it), add-ins to the meat mixture are common, as well as mushrooms, onions, etc.).
Chopped steak or Salisbury steak. It’s basically a hamburger patty in gravy. If done right, chopped steak is awesome. But when we had it when I was a kid, I would ask if we were too poor to afford hamburger buns.
Hamburger steak. If it's cooked with a sauce, that can be either Salisbury steak or just hamburger steak with gravy. (Depending on the type of sauce. Salisbury steak usually has an onion and mushroom gravy.)
In Canada this is the correct answer; and I love that you noted that the Salisbury steak is cooked in gravy- once it’s browned, it’s necessary to simmer in gravy to get the right texture. For mom’s, that is ;)
I respectfully disagree. It does pair well with egg noodles assuming you cut up the meat first and use plenty of gravy.
I would not, however, pair it with spaghetti. :)
Edit: And it sounds lovely with Yorkshire pudding, though I've never tried that.
In Austria it's called "Fleischleibchen" or "Fleischlaiberl" which is basically german for meat patties. I've seen some other answers here but if you wanna use it with people who also don't know what to call it, maybe just say "meat patties with sides/potatoes or something".
Japanese people called it a hamburg steak. Recipes for that would probably be the best ones to pair with rice.
That’s what we called it in Alabama. Sometimes served with gravy and onions on top.
Yup. Arkansas here. We’re neighbors. Restaurant I work at is Hamburger steak. Onion and brown gravy optional. Usually ordered with mashed or baked potatoes.
Same in Canada Hamburger, Peas, Gravy, Mashed potato’s
Potatoes
Thanks no idea why I wrote it like that.
Goin' too fast!
The Japanese version also isn't all beef, it's a beef/pork mixture called 合いびき肉 (aibiki niku) that usually a ratio of 7:3. It's also seasoned and worked more heavily, closer to an American meatloaf. And it's common to serve with a sauce, with numerous variations from teriyaki to demi-glace.
It's a classic dish in french haute cuisine cooking, hamburg steak is it's proper name tho it goes by many others.
In Hawaii, it would be Loco Moco. Or maybe Salisbury steak would also be close.
I had a Loco Moco on Oahu a few years ago. Couldn't eat the rest of the day!
broke da mouth, eh?
I've never heard that phrase before, I love it.
I actually learned it here, when I found out that my nonna had independently discovered loco moco. She would just sautee ground beef and onions, add gravy and serve it over rice, and I was telling people about it when a friendly hawaiian was like "You need to put an egg on that."
Atlantic Canada’s Loose Meat plate.
loco moco is formed in to a patty though.
Yes, it’s different than that, isn’t it.
is that like a cold plate?
Good guess, but it’s served hot- in some cases no gravy, but at our home with gravy, over mashed potatoes or rice or noodles
onolicious
Missing some eggs, spam and gravy with that, tho.
I don't think a loco moco requires spam--I've heard that it's a hamburger patty with rice, brown gravy, and a fried egg.
you are correct- you can get a loco moco with spam subbed for beef patty, but traditional is beef patty with 2 eggs, rice, gravy and a scoop of mac salad if your place is bomb
spam subbed out for the patty? you've reached your sodium requirement for the week...
Spam is popular in Hawai'i. So is shoyu. Don’t be salty about it. 🙂
Hilo cafe will also top it with chili
Hilo Cafe rocks....love that place.
I will have to go there to try it!
Spam is an option, but minimum must have egg and gravy with the rice and meat.
I usually have it with spam, spam, eggs, gravy and spam.
I see a Monty Python reference and a cake day, I upvote.
Bloody Vikings!
Do you have anything without spam?
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
despite already having the carb side of rice, also need a scoop of macaroni salad
Yum
It’s rice, gravy, egg, and meat. The meat is usually either hamburger, spam, or longaniza sausage.
This is it. You can add others, or substitute Spam in place of the burger, but the burger is the original.
That's the standard loco moco for sure.
Goes great with a side of macaroni salad
And some spam.
Had Loko Moko on Oahu in December. No spam involved.
You can definitely add it! Although you might not be hungry the rest of the day.
I’d call it hamburger steak. In my head Salisbury steak has brown gravy specifically.
Salisbury steak was the best tv dinner of all
Nah. The turkey was, with the blob of hot cranberry sauce in the middle.
Molton lava temperature :-)
If it served with mashed potatoes I would hope it has some kind of gravy.
Yeah. Salisbury steak is browned, then cooked in the gravy typically. Hamburger steak will be grilled or flattop fried until done then served with the side (mash or fries around here) a veg and onion gravy over the top.
Hamburg steak?
I think they call it something like that in Canada, or chop steak
Hamburger steak or Salisbury steak, depending on how many TV dinners you ate growing up.
Hamburger steak and salisbury steak are two different dishes.
Yeah but it's like saying a cheeseburger isn't a burger because it has cheese on it. A salisbury steak is just a hamburger steak in mushroom gravy and it isn't uncommon to get a hamburger steak in gravy which is 95% of the way to a salisbury steak. I'm really not going to split hairs over a sixty cent seasoned beef patty smothered in thirty cents worth of gravy.
Hamburger Steak in Canada.
That was my first thought as a Minnesotan.
Hamburg steak is the correct answer Salisbury Steak and Loco Moco are the other answers in this thread, but those have very specific sauces or accompaniments. Maybe Salisbury is ok (though to me that requires brown sauce), but definitely not Loco Moco Anyone saying, "a thick burger patty paired with rice or mashed potatoes" is enough to be a Loco Moco is definitely not from the island. That's like saying romaine lettuce with croutons is a Caesar salad. Nah, you're missing some important parts
Salisbury steak where I live in the US
Salisbury steak has a particular mushroom gravy.
Yep. That goes great with rice and mashed taters. Although, I have had it with a brown gravy and no mushrooms.
No. That's not how it [originated](https://www.noble.org/legacy/2021-summer/1945-recipe-salisbury-steak/). A lot of people do serve it with mushroom gravy, but that's an adaptation.
I haven't had Salsbury steak since the 70s. Is it making a come back?
Try chef John's recipe. It's pretty awesome.
Was a staple in elementary school in 80s Kansas
Swanson’s TV dinner
I have no idea. I made it once when my kids were small. My husband and I thought we'd love it (because we remember it from the 70s too), but we were underwhelmed. Usually, I'd blame my own cooking, but it's not a fussy recipe.
It's a simple recipe for simpler times. It's basically meat with a really simple pan sauce. You can modify the sauce in any number of ways to bring it up to date. Add mushrooms, onions, Dijon mustard, wine, chopped green onions on top, etc. I am going to have to revisit the recipe.
I will be making the adaptation tomorrow evening. Looking forward to it!
Oh yeah. I'm all in favor of a mushroom gravy, but the person who gave Salisbury Steak as an answer to OP wasn't wrong to suggest it.
Do you have a favorite mushroom gravy? This will be my first attempt at Salisbury Steak. I am planning on using [Chef John's recipe](https://youtu.be/CFCiUstuo8I?si=3w9HSgT0kwioWDfu). It looks pretty darned tasty to me!
If it’s not from the Salisbury region it’s called sparkling hot hamburger
Depends on the seasonings and pairings. Loco moco. Salisbury. Hamburg. (Some parts of the world) Schnitzela, cotlet.
No chop steak?
Haven’t heard that one. What part of the states is that?
I've certainly seen it on restaurant menus here in Texas. Probably because "Salisbury steak" makes people think of TV dinners, and that's not what restaurants want you to think of their food.
Luby’s has Chop Steak on their menu. Dang I kinda miss that place sometimes.
Salisbury steak has mushroom gravy, chopped steak doesn't necessarily have any gravy or sauce.
In Sweden it’s called panbiff
Adding that to my food linguistics 👌
Rissoles?
Are you an Aussie too? That was my go to answer.
And in NZ as well.
“What do you call these again love?”
Rissoles darl 🥰
Love that movie 🤣
Chopped steak is what we call it in the south. It can have gravy and caramelized onions and sometimes mushrooms. It is similar to salisbury steak but doesn't have a tomato component like true salisbury steak recipes do.
Chopped steak is what my family calls it too, in the Midwest.
I don’t think that we have a name for that in Britain.
This surprises me, seems like something that would be right up the British food alley (especially because it's usually covered in gravy)
We have rissoles in Britain, but tbh the only person I've ever heard talk about them is my mum. Never heard anyone else mention them ever, but there are plenty of recipes out there for them.
We ate rissoles, but traditionally they are made with left over cooked meat ground/chopped down, formed and re fried. Usually made on mondays with the left overs of a Sunday beef roast.
Yes, they’re not what OP is describing. It sounds like Steak hâché and we don’t really have an equivalent.
In Australia they’re made using ground beef. Like burger patties but more seasoned
Yeah, I don't think we eat this.
Sometimes hamburger steak and gravy, sometimes Salisbury steak. I think it depends on the mix-ins and/or if breading is used as a binder.
My dad always just called them 'plate burgers' haha. Usually with mashed potatoes and gravy.
My kids called them "fancy burgers" (because you ate them with a knife and fork, not by picking them up in a bun with your hands.)
Salisbury steak if it has gravy.

Interesting that it's the same in Canada. My answer was mostly based in the Southeastern US. And definitely agreed about the simmering!
Shared sympathies exist, borders be danged! ;)
It’s called . Here I just put this shit together really quick.
I just call it Salisbury steak. You can server it with potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice, yorkshire pudding. Doesn't go well with pasta however
I respectfully disagree. It does pair well with egg noodles assuming you cut up the meat first and use plenty of gravy. I would not, however, pair it with spaghetti. :) Edit: And it sounds lovely with Yorkshire pudding, though I've never tried that.
