Salisbury Steak Dinner

Salisbury Steak

adapted from allrecipes and Taste of Home

Steak

1 1/2 lb. ground beef

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce

1 egg

1/2 c. fine dry bread crumbs

1 tsp. Lipton Onion Soup Mix, reserve rest of packet for sauce*

Mix meat with all the ingredients above and form into about 7 patties. Patties should be about 4ish-inches long and oval shaped.

Brown patties on both sides in a skilled over med-high heat. Remove from skillet.

Sauce

1/2 pkg. mushrooms, washed and sliced

1 TBSP. butter

2 TBSP. flour

2 c. water

Remaining Lipton Onion Soup Mix*

1/4 c. ketchup

1 TBSP. worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp. ground mustard

Brown mushrooms in about half of the butter over med-low heat in the skillet you used to brown the steaks.

Add the rest of the butter and then sprinkle with the flour, stirring until the flour is absorbed.

Add the water and stir.

Add soup mix, ketchup, worcestershire sauce, and ground mustard, stirring to combine. Turn up the heat to get a simmer going. Continue stirring.

Once your mixture begins to look like gravy, turn down the heat, add the steaks, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!

*I have made this without Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Before starting the recipe, I mixed the following spices together in a bowl: 1 1/4 tsp. onion powder, 1/4 tsp. dried parsley, 1/8 tsp. paprika, 1/8 tsp. pepper.

I used about 1/4 tsp. of this mixture in the steak and then used the rest in the sauce. I added 1 tsp. of Beef "Better Than Boullion" when I added the water to the sauce and found that the ketchup needs to be reduced to about 2 TBSP. with this rendition of the recipe.

Since I titled this post "Salisbury Steak Dinner", I feel like I should offer my tips on the rest of the meal. Here we go:

I suggest putting a pot of water on to boil and then peeling and cutting your potatoes into large chunks. By the time you've got your steaks mixed up, shaped, and browned, your water for the potatoes should be boiling. 

Add the potatoes to the water and start working on your sauce. 

About five minutes after you put your steaks back into the sauce, place one can of cut green beans into a small pot with one beef bouillon cube over low heat. 

About five to ten minutes before the timer for your steak goes off, drain and mash your potatoes.
