I am sure there are recipes galore on the internet and in cookbooks for Salisbury Steak. Really, you don’t need a recipe. I made up this dish years ago without using a recipe, so I am sure anyone could. In any event, Salisbury Steak has become a family favorite and is the perfect comfort food.
Ingredients
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 palmful of Montreal steak seasoning
Extra virgin olive oil for frying
1 large onion, halved and sliced
1 package fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 cup beef broth
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with the Montreal steak seasoning.
Shape the ground beef mixture into oval-shaped patties.
Drizzle some olive oil in the bottom of a frying pan and heat. Fry the patties in the oil until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. The patties should be cooked all the way through with no pink in the middle. When the patties are cooked, remove them from the pan and keep them warm.
To the same frying pan, add the onions and mushrooms. Cook until the onions are caramelized and the moisture has cooked off a little.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the onions and mushrooms; then, whisk in the broth and stir until thickened.
Add the patties back to the frying pan and spoon the gravy over the tops. Cook until the Salisbury steaks are heated through and serve immediately. I like to serve these with mashed cauliflower and green beans; however, mashed potatoes are good, too.
This is comfort food!
