0 out of 5 stars - would not recommend

“This Salisbury Steak is awful, I can’t even cut it with a knife – wait I don’t even have a knife.” Our kids’ restaurant would likely have some problems with the health department and Yelp Reviews… Salad made from magnolia flower petals, Salisbury steak from tree bark, not exactly fine dining. 0 out of 5 stars - would not recommend.
I didn’t even realize that Andy really likes Salisbury Steak– also I didn’t know it was spelled Salisbury… news you can use I guess. I found a recipe and went with it. When I started to make the patties… I awkwardly tried with a spoon and Andy took that over. I’m not the biggest fan of touching raw meat. This turned out great – we all enjoyed it. It was nice to have something a little different that the kids even liked. I think it helped I served this with garlic butter noodles… that will always be a winner in our house.

Homemade Salisbury Steak

Ingredients
For the steaks
1 pound ground beef
1 green pepper finely chopped
¼ cup bread crumbs
1 large egg
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon mustard
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried onion powder
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon oil

For the gravy
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 ½ cups beef stock
1 teaspoon ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon dried onion powder
½ pound brown button mushrooms sliced

Instructions
Make the beef patties
Combine beef mixture:
Place all ingredients for the steaks (EXCEPT for the oil) in a large bowl and mix well.
Shape patties:
Shape beef mixture into 4-6 firm patties. I make a shallow indentation in the middle to help them keep their shape during cooking.
Brown patties:
Heat the oil in a large skillet and brown the steaks from both sides, 3-5 minutes each. Remove to a plate.
Cook the gravy
Make roux:
In the same skillet (DON'T wipe it!), melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until starting to brown – do not let it get too dark, or it will be bitter. Pour in the stock, stirring very well.
Season gravy:
Season gravy with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and onion powder, then add the mushrooms, bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Finish cooking the steaks:
Place the steaks in the gravy and cook, covered for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.
