Components
For the steak from Salisbury:
- 450g/1 pound of ground beef
- 25g, or 1/4 cup, of breadcrumbs
- 60 milliliters, or 1/4 cup, of milk
- One little onion, diced finely
- One egg
- One spoonful of sauce from Worcestershire
- one tsp powdered garlic
- One teaspoon of fresh or dried thyme
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- two tsp of vegetable oil
- One cup (240 ml) of beef stock
- One tablespoon of flour for all purposes
- 100g (one cup) of sliced mushrooms, optional
- One tablespoon of soy sauce (optional; adds added flavour depth)
For the Mashed Potatoes with Creamy Garlic Infusion:
- Peel and cube four big potatoes.
- four peeled garlic cloves
- Half a cup (120 ml) of milk, or more if necessary
- 60g, or 1/4 cup, unsalted butter
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Two teaspoons of freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Guidelines
First, get the mashed potatoes ready.
- Put the peeled and cubed potatoes and cloves of garlic in a big pot and bring to a boil. Sprinkle with a little salt and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft and pierced easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Mashing and draining: Take out the potatoes and garlic, then put them back in the pot. Smoothly mash in the butter after adding it.
- Seasonings and milk should be added gradually, a bit at a time, until the required consistency is achieved. Add the parsley that has been chopped and season with salt and pepper to taste. Store heated until serving time.
Prepare the Salisbury steaks in Step Two.
- To make the beef combination, put the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, garlic powder, and salt and pepper in a big bowl. Do not overmix; only combine until just mixed.
- To form the steaks, divide the meat mixture into four to six parts, then patties approximately half an inch thick.
- To cook the steaks, place a large skillet over medium-high heat with the vegetable oil. When the meat patties are browned and thoroughly done, add them and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side. After taking the patties out of the griddle, set them aside.
- To make the gravy, place the sliced mushrooms (if using) in the same skillet and sauté for two to three minutes, or until they begin to brown. After adding the flour, sauté the mushrooms for an additional minute while stirring continuously.
- Pour the beef broth in gradually, stirring to blend it in. If using, add the soy sauce. The gravy should thicken after three to five minutes of simmering the mixture.
- Steaks should be returned to the skillet and simmered in the gravy for a further five minutes, or until the steaks are thoroughly cooked and covered in sauce.
Step Three: Present
- Arrange the food on a plate: Place a substantial amount of velvety garlic mashed potatoes onto every platter.
- Add the Salisbury steak: Place the Salisbury steaks on top of the mashed potatoes and drizzle with the mushroom gravy.
- Garnish: If preferred, top with more finely chopped parsley.
Advice and Techniques
- Preparation in advance: The mashed potatoes and Salisbury steaks can be made in advance. Warm up a bit before serving.
- Taste-test: Don’t hesitate to add or subtract salt and thicken the gravy according to your preference. For added richness, you can also add a small amount of heavy cream to the gravy.
- Variations with veggies: To enhance the texture and flavour of the gravy, you can add more vegetables, such as carrots or peas.
In summary
- Combining the best of creamy potatoes and hefty beef patties, Classic Homestyle Salisbury Steak with Garlic Infused Mashed Potatoes is a filling and cozy dish. This meal is a great option for any dinner because of the ideal balance of flavors created by the savory gravy and garlic-infused mash.
