Salisbury steak is a classic comfort food dish made from ground beef shaped into patties and typically served with a rich brown gravy. Despite the name, it’s not actually steak—it’s more like a hamburger patty prepared with seasonings and sometimes breadcrumbs or onions to add flavor and texture. It’s often accompanied by mashed potatoes, vegetables, or rice.
Here’s a basic breakdown:
- Main ingredients: Ground beef, onions, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper.
- Cooking method: Patties are pan-fried or baked, then simmered in a brown gravy made from beef broth, onions, and sometimes mushrooms.
- Origin: Named after Dr. James H. Salisbury
