Foodie Friday – Salisbury Steak

Salisbury Steak is not a steak in the normal sense.  It is a mixture of ground beef with other ingredients which is shaped to look like a steak.  Cheap and cheerful food.

It is not named after the English town but after the American doctor who invented it in the 1890's – he was an early low carb diet guy.

Thanks to Taste of Home for this recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 pound lean ground beef
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
• 1 medium onion, quartered and sliced
• 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, garlic powder and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture; mix well. Shape into two patties; dredge in 2 tablespoons flour. In a small skillet, brown patties on both sides in oil; drain. Set patties aside.
• Add the remaining flour to the skillet; whisk in water until smooth. Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and bouillon. Add the onion and mushrooms. Bring to a boil. Return patties to the pan. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until beef is no longer pink. Serve gravy over patties.
