GRILLED SALISBURY STEAKS IN SAVORY MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GRILL PATTIES ON A BARBECUE RACK OR GAS GRILL. USE AN INDOOR RIDGED FLAT GRILL OR PRESS "GEORGE FOREMAN" CLOSABLE GRILL. I RECOMMEND DOUBLING THE GRAVY RECIPE IF PLANNING TO SERVE GRAVY OVER MASHED POTATOES. THE DIRECTIONS HAVE BEEN CONDENSED SINCE FIRST REVIEW.
• MIX the GRILLED SALISBURY STEAKS ingredients in a medium to large mixing bowl (mixture will be soft; patties will shrink considerably while cooking); KNEAD well using hands or mix using a large fork; DIVIDE ground beef mixture to form 4-5 oval-shaped steak patties, about 3/4" thick; PLACE patties onto a platter.
• PREHEAT indoor grill to medium-high heat; OIL or spray grill surfaces completely with non-stick cooking spray; GRILL beef patties until sear-marks are obtained; TURN patties and repeat process (if using a press-type closable grill, sear without turning), searing until center of each beef patty is still a little pink, not quite done.
• CUT Spanish onion into 1/4" thick, julienne strips to yield 1/2 cup; THINLY slice 4 ounces fresh mushrooms; PREHEAT oven to 350 F if using the OVEN FINISH METHOD (SEE STEP 9).
• HEAT 3 tablespoons unsalted butter a large heavy saucepan over medium heat; ADD the onion, mushrooms and mashed garlic clove; SAUTE until onions are light golden and softened; STIR in 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; COOK for 1-2 minutes.
• QUICKLY whisk the beef broth into the saucepan roux to deglaze, then add the remaining SAVORY MUSHROOM GRAVY ingredients; BRING mixture to a boil over medium-high heat while whisking constantly; REDUCE heat to medium.
• WHISK 1/4 cup cold water (or 2 tablespoons water with 2 tablespoons cognac) with 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch for the SLURRY in a small mixing bowl, until smooth and cornstarch is completely dissolved; ADD the slurry gradually to gravy base in saucepan, while whisking constantly, until thoroughly blended; COOK gravy until thickened and bubbly; REDUCE heat to low; ADD grilled beef patties, immersing them in gravy.
• STOVETOP FINISH METHOD: Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. CAREFULLY turn steaks with a spatula. Simmer an additional 10 minutes until steaks are steam-cooked and tender.
• OVEN FINISH METHOD: Transfer oven-safe large heavy saucepan to preheated 350 F oven. Bake patties uncovered for 20 minutes, immersed in gravy.
• SERVE: Transfer steaks onto serving plates with a spatula. Whisk gravy to refresh consistency. Ladle gravy over steaks. Serve with desired side dishes. Enjoy!

SAVORY SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Read through all of the instructions prior to starting. Prepare the meat mixture. Beef, soup mix, Worcestershire, eggs, bread crumbs, parsley, yeast, garlic, black and red pepper. Mix thoroughly and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in fridge until ready to make dinner.
• 2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and add sliced onions over medium to medium/low heat. You can start this step prior to forming the meat patties, this will take some time to completely sweat the onions and turn them into a lovely caramel color. When onions begin to dry out, add some broth to the pan to bring moisture back into it and keep the onions from sticking/or burning. Serve onions on the top of the steaks and gravy. Also you can make extra to be served as an additional side.
• 3. At dinner time, prepare patties in whatever size you prefer. {We generally use a scale to weigh all of the ingredients, then divide them by however many patties you want to serve.}
• 4. Heat up a large skillet and brown the patties on each side, 4 - 5 minutes per side.
• 5. While patties are browning, make your favorite brown gravy. We use beef broth, Wondra, 1t. Worcestershire sauce, Garlic salt and pepper. Mix as directed on the side of the Wondra can for broth gravy. Pour gravy over steaks and reduce to simmer for 25 minutes or so.
• 6. Serve steaks with gravy ladled over and caramelized onions on top. Excellent with Garlic mashed potatoes, or noodles or rice. Enjoy and remember... Hug each Other!
