How to Store and Reheat Salisbury Steak
Salisbury steak makes great leftovers, especially when you save the extra gravy!
Store the cooked Salisbury steak and gravy together in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
To reheat, place the patties and gravy in a covered skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through. Add a splash of water if the gravy has thickened too much in the refrigerator.
You can also reheat individual portions in the microwave, covering them to prevent splatters and heating until hot throughout.
