What Is Salisbury Steak?

The name is a little misleading –these steaks are actually ground beef held together with egg and breadcrumbs.

Theyre basically single serving patties of meatloaf that are seared and then braised in a savory mushroom gravy.

This recipe is a little (okay, a lot) retro, but it totally hits the spot.

Nestle the patties back into the skillet and let everything simmer until the patties are cooked through.

Thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch to make a rich gravy, and you’re done!

Start to finish, dinner is ready in under an hour and only uses one skillet.

I also either microwave some bagged frozen vegetables or throw together a quick salad to round out the meal.

Salisbury steak also freezes well, so feel free to double the recipe and freeze half.

I suggest freezing in a baking pan (88 or 99).
