I make these Salisbury Steaks the day before and let them set overnight. It takes all of five minutes for me to get them ready and refrigerate them. They are always better if they sit overnight and let flavors blend. This is an easy meal to make, under 30 minutes, and it tastes really delicious. My Dad, Bill, and I really enjoy this dish. Serve this old-fashioned meal with mashed potatoes, and a colorful vegetable. I hope you like it, too. Enjoy! Photo with permission from Cheryl Dunkin. The recipe is my own.

How To Make bonnie's salisbury steak

  • 1
    PREPARE THE MEAT THE NIGHT BEFORE: Combine the ground beef, bread, onion, mince garlic, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper in a large bowl. Add the milk. Mix well. Form into oval shaped patties, not too thick or thin. Wrap the patties individually and tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate over night. (Don't skip this step!)

    MAKING THE SALISBURY STEAKS: In a small skillet, prepare the 2 packets of gravy per instructions. Add the one tablespoon of Lipton Mushroom Onion mix. (or 1/2 tablespoon if you use one packet) Once it's thickened, add the mushrooms and simmer. Sprinkle the prepared Salsibury Steak patties with the McCormick Steak Seasoning. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the salisbury steak patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until nice and brown, and to your desired degree of doneness. Use oil very sparingly if you have to.

    SERVING THE SALISBURY STEAKS: You can serve the salsibury steaks two ways. You can add the gravy right into the pan and simmer it with the Salsibury Steaks for a few minutes. The gravy should be thickened. (We prefer it like that because the gravy picks up the juices of the meat) Or you can place the cooked steak patties on a serving dish and cover with the mushroom gravy. Garnish with 1 teaspoon chopped green onion. Enjoy!
