Salisbury steak is a dish my mother occasionally made when I was a kid that I came to miss as an adult. If you aren’t familiar with it, it’s a lot like mini meatloaves in gravy, rather than a meatloaf with ketchup on top, and it’s a great way to fancy up a ground beef meal.
I learned to make this Salisbury steak from my mother, and luckily she didn’t rely on tricks like using onion soup packets. Instead, she used her meatloaf recipe as the basis for her Salisbury patties. So all I had to do was remove the onion and garlic. Next, I had to make my own for the gravy, as she always used a jarred version. While many people seem somewhat intimidated by gravy-making, it’s pretty simple once you get used to it.
