Diner Style Salisbury Steak Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• Combine beef, black pepper, dry mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, egg, cayenne, and bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or your hands to stir the ingredients until very evenly distributed.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or up to overnight.
• While the meat is resting, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick pan over high heat; add mushrooms, onions, and a pinch of salt. Saute, stirring occasionally, until very nicely browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.
• Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth; increase heat to high. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens slightly and reduces, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Transfer to a glass measuring cup, scraping the pan clean with a spatula, and reserve.
• Remove meat from the refrigerator and divide into 4 equal portions. Moisten hands and form into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides of the patties lightly with salt.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the previously used nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour in gravy and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until gravy is piping hot, and the meat is just cooked through and springs back lightly when touched, about 5 minutes.

SALISBURY STEAK WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Place breadcrumbs in a bowl. Use a box grater and grate the onion over the breadcrumbs. Mix with fingers, leave to soak for a few minutes.
• Add remaining Salisbury Steak ingredients into the large bowl. Use your hands to mix until just combined. Mix well for a couple of minutes until the mixture becomes a bit "pasty" which will ensure your patties hold together well.
• Divide into 5 and pat firmly into oval patties around 3/4" / 1 2/3 cm thick.
• Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook the first side for 1 minute or until browned, then flip and brown the other side (they will still be raw inside). Remove onto plate.
• If skillet is looking dry, add a touch more oil. Add chopped onion and garlic and cook for 2 minute until onions are a bit translucent.
• Add the mushrooms into the skillet and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until golden.
• Turn heat down to medium. Add butter. Once melted, add flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
• Gradually add in beef broth, stirring as you go. Once mostly lump free, whisk in remaining Gravy ingredients.
• Add steaks along with the juices on the plate. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes, or until gravy is thickened, stirring occasionally around the steaks. If the gravy thickens too quickly, add more water.
• Remove steaks onto a plate. Taste gravy and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve salisbury steaks topped with the mushroom gravy - over mashed potato is ideal! Sprinkle with a bit of parsley if desired.

SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• Place the breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl and using a box grater, grate the onion over the breadcrumbs (let all the juice go into the breadcrumbs).Use your fingers to mix and leave them to soak for a few minutes
• Add the remaining Salisbury Steak ingredients into the bowl and using your hands mix the ingredients until fully combined.Continue to mix the ingredients until the mixture becomes sticky. This will help keep the patties together.
• Divide the mixture into 8 portions and press the mixture firmly together into oval patties about ¾ of an inch thick
• Add the cooking oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat and gently add the formed Salisbury Steaks. Cook the first side for 1-2 minutes or until nicely browned, then gently flip the steak over and brown the other side.
• When the Salisbury steaks have browned on both sides remove them from the pan and set them aside in a baking dish while you make the mushroom gravy.*they will still be raw inside
• Using the same skillet add the mushrooms, chopped onion and garlic. Add more oil to the pan if needed. Saute until the mushrooms are partially cooked.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the butter.
• When the butter has melted, add the flour to the mixture, mix well and allow to cook for 2 minutes. Keep stiring the mixture so the roux doesn't burn.
• Gradually add in the beef broth, stirring as you add to keep the gravy smooth and lump free.
• Add the mustard, worchesteshire, salt and pepper. Mix well.*If the mixture is too thick add a little water or more stock to the pan. If the mixture is too loose, allow it to cook a little longer to reduce the sauce and thicken.
• Place the Salisbury steaks in a baking dish and pour the mushroom gravy over top of the steaks.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees has been reached.

DINER STYLE SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• Mix together 1/3 can of soup with meat, bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper. Make sure the turkey and beef are fully mixed together.
• Spray a large frying pan with cooking spray. Form meat mixture into oval shaped patties about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cook patties in pan over medium high heat until edges appear to be cooked, then turn them over. Continue cooking until they are cooked almost all the way through. (It helps to do this in two batches so that they are not crowded and can get nice and brown.).
• Remove a few of the patties and keep warm on a plate in a low oven, leaving 3 or so in the pan. Add the water and let it sizzle around the remaining patties for about 30 seconds.
• Stir together remaining soup, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, and Kitchen Bouquet and wine, if using (and I recommend both). Pour in pan with water and stir to incorporate. Simmer for 5 minutes until bubbly, reducing the heat if necessary. Add water as needed to keep consistency of sauce smooth.
• Add remaining meat patties and fresh mushrooms to pan and press mushrooms down into the sauce. Cover pan and cook additional 10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
• Serve with rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
