Easy-Does-It - Salisbury Steak image

This is so easy and always turns out. Mashed potatoes or rice go well with this dish. You can make this a very elegant or casual dinner. It also reheats well.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs (or soak a fresh piece of bread in water a few minutes, squeeze out water and tear up bread into meat)
1 egg
2 -3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
1 pinch oregano
fresh salt & pepper
flour (for dredging)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, heated
1 package dry onion soup mix
3/4 cup red wine or 1 can beer or 3/4 cup ginger ale (I prefer the first two because the gingerale makes it sweet...children prefer the gingerale)
1/2 cup water, if sauce is too thick add more
1/2-1 cup freshly sliced mushrooms (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium size bowl mix meats, water, crumbs, egg, and spices.
  • Make rounded balls the size of your palm and slightly flatten to resemble a hamburger but not quite as flat.
  • Now roll in flour.
  • Pat on so it sticks well.
  • Put into heated oil and brown quickly on all sides.
  • Don't cook it through.
  • This is just to seal it.
  • Pour off excess grease, if any.
  • Pour in wine,water, and the pkg.
  • of onion soup.
  • (and the mushrooms if you like) Turn heat Medium-High only until it starts to cook then done to Simmer on stove top.
  • Let it simmer until the steaks are tender about 20-25 min.
  • If you like more gravy, in a jar with a lid put 2 Tblsp.
  • flour and 2 Tblsp.
  • cold water,cover quickly and shake vigorously.
  • This will take out the lumps.
  • Take out the steaks, pour in the flour/water mixture into the gravy already in the pan.
  • Stir until the right consistency.
  • If the gravy seems a little light in color add a little gravy master to it and a few grinds of the pepper mill.
