SALISBUSRY STEAK

SALISBURY STEAK

Makes about 8 patties
Preparation time: 8-10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

Nineteenth-century dietician, Dr. James H. Salisbury, devised THIS DISH as a way of preventing what was supposed to be unhealthy fermentation in the digestive tract. Originally consisting only of seasoned lean broiled beef, Salisbury steak has since been cooked in other ways, including this version, which has a mushroom sauce and topping.

½ cup breadcrumbs
1 kilo ground pork
1 onion, finely chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 305-gram can cream of mushroom soup
¼ teaspoon liquid seasoning
1 cup sliced button mushroom or two 198-gram cans
mushrooms pieces and stems, drained (reserve the
liquid)
2-4 tablespoon butter

Steps:
Ø In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, sirloin, onions, and eggs. Mix all.
Ø Shape the beef mixture into 8 patties. Let stand shile making the mushroom sauce.
Ø In a saucepan, combine soup, liquid seasoning, mushrooms, and ¼ cup reserved mushroom liquid. Heat and simmer until mixture is smooth, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
Ø In a large skillet, melt butter and brown the patties 2 or 3 at a time, 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness. Do not overcrowd patties. Patties will shrink as they cook.
Ø Transfer cooked patties to individual plates and pour mushroom mixture over patties.
