I saw this recipe from Martha Stewart for Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy, which reminded me of the TV dinners that we ate in the 60's and 70's. You are meant to make it in an oblong shape to look like steak, but I didn't do that. Everyone LOVED it and it freezes beautifully so that you can reheat and eat in front of the TV!

Salisbury steak is a dish made from a blend of ground beef and other ingredients and is usually served with gravy or brown sauce. Salisbury steak was invented by an American physician, Dr. J. H. Salisbury (1823–1905). The dish is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or noodles.

  • Prep: 45 mins
  • Cook: 30 mins

Ingredients

¼ cup safflower oil

1 large onion, grated (about 1⅓ cups)

2 slices white bread

½ cup whole milk

2 pounds ground sirloin

2 garlic cloves, minced (1¼ teaspoons)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped

2 teaspoons plus a dash of Worcestershire sauce

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cornstarch, plus ¼ cup for dusting

1½ cups beef broth

Directions

1Heat a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1 cup onion. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 35 minutes. Set aside.


2Soak bread in milk, flipping once. Finely chop. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ⅓ cup onions, the sirloin, garlic cloves, bread, egg, parsley, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix with your hands to combine. Divide meat mixture into 6 oblong patties (about 5 inches long and ¾ inch thick). Dust with cornstarch.


3Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining oil, and reduce heat to medium. Cook patties, 3 at a time, for 6 minutes, without moving them. Flip, and cook until cooked through, about 9 minutes. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with remaining patties.


Make the gravy

1Add cooked onions and 1 teaspoon cornstarch to same skillet, and stir for 1 minute. Raise heat to medium-high. Pour in broth and a dash of Worcestershire sauce, and whisk until broth is clear and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and return patties and juices to skillet, spooning sauce on top.

Cook's Notes
To freeze, let patties and gravy cool, then divide among sealable containers (if reheating in oven, place in separate glass dishes. Freeze for up to 2 months. To rewarm, microwave with cover open on high for 9 to 10 minutes or in a 350° F oven, covered with foil, for 1 hour.
