 Recently I was reading the Monmouth Health and Life Magazine, when I came to their “Tastes” section. Featured in the February/March 2021 issue were recipes from Monmouth Meats in Red Bank, NJ. Stewart Goldstein, owner, shared his recipe for Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy. This took me back to my childhood when my mother occasionally purchased TV dinners. The choices were usually friend chicken, turkey with stuffing or Salisbury steak. I would say Salisbury steak was popular in the 1960’s. This Salisbury steak is ground beef formed like a steak with more seasonings, gravy and usually served over mashed potatoes. For the recipe you’ll need ground meat, onion soup mix, onions, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, an egg, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, sliced mushrooms, butter or margarine, oil, beef broth, flour and water. I fancied up my “steak” up by using Pat LaFrieda Original Blend Chopped Beef, I purchase at ShopRite in Manasquan, NJ. I just love the blend of chuck, brisket and short rib. I even make my meatballs with this blend. It took about 30 minutes from start to finish to prepare the “steaks.” They were moist, full of flavor and the rich beef gravy made for a nice alternative to regular hamburgers. I served garlic smashed potatoes and asparagus alongside. So, if you’re looking to dress up burger night, may I suggest Salisbury Steak? It will bring back memories if you’re of a certain age.
