The first thing I did to make Salisbury Steak, was to dump 2 pounds of ground moose meat into a large mixing bowl.

Then I diced enough yellow onion to make 1/4 cup.  

I added the diced onion, an egg, some, pepper and salt to the mixing bowl.

Then measure in the remaining seasonings; some dry mustard, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.

I combined all the ingredients well.

Then I used 5 slices of cooked bacon.

I chopped the bacon up into small pieces.

Then I heated some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Once the bacon was mixed into the meat I formed the meat into patties.  

I made 6 patties that were just over 6oz each.

Next I placed the patties into the heated oil in the large skillet.

I covered them with the lid and allowed them to cook for about 8 minutes.

Then I sliced up the remainder of the onion.

While the patties were cooking I prepared some gravy according to the package directions.

After 8 minutes I removed the lid.

I flipped the patties making a space in the center of the pan.

Cook on this side for about 8 minutes again.

Then I threw the sliced onions in the space I had created in the center of the pan.

I stirred the onions around in the pan until softened.

After about 8 minutes I poured the prepared gravy over top of the meat and onions.

I let it simmer for about 5 minutes on low with the lid back on pan.

Remove the pan from the heat and get ready to serve up your main course!

We like to place a serving of mashed potatoes on a plate.

Then serve up a Salisbury Steak on top of the potatoes smothered in the gravy and onions.

Enjoy every mouthful of this delicious and quick dinner recipe any time of the year!

FAQS:

What should I serve with salisbury steak?

  1. Mashed Potatoes: Creamy mashed potatoes are a classic choice. They soak up the delicious gravy and provide a comforting side.
  2. Gluten Free Egg Noodles or Pasta: Serve Salisbury Steak over egg noodles or pasta to create a hearty and filling meal. The noodles can also be tossed with a bit of butter or olive oil.
  3. Rice: White or brown rice is a versatile option. You can prepare it plain or flavored, depending on your preference.
  4. Roasted Vegetables: Roast some vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, or green beans. The caramelized flavors of roasted veggies complement the steak nicely.

  9. Mushroom Gravy: If your Salisbury Steak doesn’t already have a mushroom gravy, consider serving it with an additional mushroom gravy on the side for extra flavor.

Feel free to mix and match these suggestions based on your preferences and dietary restrictions.

What substitutions can I make in salisbury steak?

Salisbury steak is a classic dish made with ground beef or a mixture of ground meats, often seasoned and shaped into patties. While the traditional recipe involves a seasoned beef patty served with a savory gravy, there are various substitutions and modifications you can make to suit your taste preferences or dietary restrictions. Here are some ideas:

  1. Meat substitutions:
    • Ground turkey or chicken: For a lighter option, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
    • Veggie patties: If you’re vegetarian or looking for a meatless option, consider using veggie patties made from ingredients like black beans, lentils, or mushrooms.
  2. Seasonings:
    • Garlic and herbs: Experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano, and add minced garlic for extra flavor.
    • Worcestershire sauce: Enhance the umami flavor by adding vegetarian Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce.
  3. Breadcrumbs and binders:
    • Panko or gluten-free breadcrumbs: Adjust the type of breadcrumbs to suit your dietary needs.
    • Oats or quinoa: For a gluten-free option, consider using oats or cooked quinoa as a binder.
  4. Gravy variations:
    • Mushroom gravy: Add sautéed mushrooms to the gravy for a richer and earthier flavor.
    • Onion gravy: Caramelize onions and incorporate them into the gravy for a sweet and savory twist.
  5. Serving options:
    • Mashed cauliflower or sweet potatoes: Instead of traditional mashed potatoes, consider using mashed cauliflower or sweet potatoes for a healthier side.
    • Roasted vegetables: Serve the Salisbury steak with a side of roasted vegetables for added color and nutrition.
  6. Dietary considerations:
    • Keto-friendly: Replace flour with a low-carb alternative for thickening the gravy, such as almond flour or xanthan gum.
    • Dairy-free: Use plant-based or lactose-free alternatives for milk and butter in the gravy.

Feel free to mix and match these substitutions based on your preferences and dietary requirements. Salisbury steak is a versatile dish, and you can get creative with ingredients to tailor it to your taste.

How do I store salisbury steak?

To store Salisbury steak properly, follow these guidelines:

  1. Refrigeration:
    • If you have cooked Salisbury steak and have leftovers, refrigerate them promptly. Allow the leftovers to cool to room temperature for about 2 hours before placing them in the refrigerator.
    • Store Salisbury steak in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out and absorbing odors from the refrigerator.
  2. Timing:
    • Consume refrigerated Salisbury steak leftovers within 3-4 days. This ensures that the quality and safety of the food are maintained.
  3. Labeling:
    • Label the container or package with the date of preparation. This helps you keep track of how long the Salisbury steak has been stored.
  4. Reheating:
    • Reheat Salisbury steak thoroughly before serving. You can do this in the oven, on the stovetop, or in the microwave. Make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safe to eat.

Always use your judgment and discard the Salisbury steak if it shows signs of spoilage, such as an off smell, unusual color, or unusual texture. Following these guidelines will help you store Salisbury steak safely and maintain its quality. 

Can I freeze salisbury steak?

Yes, you can freeze Salisbury steak. Freezing is a convenient way to extend the shelf life of cooked dishes, including Salisbury steak. Here are some steps to properly freeze Salisbury steak:

  1. Cooling: Allow the Salisbury steak to cool completely before freezing. Rapid cooling helps maintain the quality of the food.
  2. Portioning: If you’re freezing individual servings, portion the Salisbury steak into desired serving sizes. This makes it easier to thaw only the amount you need.
  3. Packaging: Wrap the Salisbury steak tightly in plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or place it in airtight freezer bags to prevent freezer burn and protect it from absorbing odors from the freezer.
  4. Labeling: Clearly label the packaging with the date of freezing to keep track of how long it has been stored in the freezer.
  5. Freezing: Place the wrapped or packaged Salisbury steak in the freezer. Try to remove as much air as possible from the packaging to reduce the risk of freezer burn.
  6. Storage Time: For best quality, it’s recommended to consume frozen Salisbury steak within 2-3 months. While it may be safe to eat beyond that time, the quality may deteriorate.

When you’re ready to enjoy the Salisbury steak, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Reheat it thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it’s safe to eat. Keep in mind that freezing and thawing can affect the texture of certain ingredients, so the quality might not be the same as when it was freshly cooked.
