Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy...A Classic TV Dinner...Rox Style

When most of us think Salisbury Steak we think of those gray machine formed patties covered in brown goop from the Swanson TV dinners...blech!
Trust me, this is soooo not the Salisbury Steak from childhood! Even my picky eater gave this a two thumbs up! I served it tonight with creamy mashed potatoes and steamed brussels sprouts with a red wine vinegar reduction...YUM to the max!




For The "Steaks"

3 tbsp olive oil
6-8 large white mushrooms, finely diced (should be about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup finely minced onion
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin*
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp freshly cracked pepper
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp worsterchire sauce

For The Mushroom Gravy

3 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
3 cups beef stock
1 lb sliced button mushrooms
1/4 cup sherry
1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder

Saute onions,diced mushrooms and garlic in 1 tbsp of the olive oil until softened and fragrant,about 5 minutes. Spoon out of pan and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, mix ground beef with cooled onion mixture, eggs, bread crumbs and next 4 ingredients. Using dampened hands, make 6 oval shaped patties, about 1 1/2" thick and saute in the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil until golden brown on both sides. Remove from pan and keep warm. In large skillet melt butter and add flour and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes until roux looks like wet sand. Begin to add stock 1/3 cup at a time, constantly whisking and bringing to a simmer each time making sure there are no lumps. Add mushrooms, sherry, pepper, seasoned salt, onion & garlic powders. Stir to combine and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place patties in a roasting pan (I prefer my 13x9 glass baking dish) and pour gravy over patties and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 45 minutes.

Serve with mashed potaotes, your fave veg and enjoy!

*You can use ground turkey or chicken if you are cutting back on your red meat.
