Ingredients
2 pounds Ground Beef
1/3 cup White Onions, Chopped 1/4″
1/3 cup Bell Peppers (Green or Red)
1/4 cup Ripe Tomato, Chopped 1/4″
1 Egg
1/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
2 tablespoons Dry Parsley Flakes
1/2 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
4 cups White Mushrooms, Sliced 1/4″
4 cups Beef Broth
If Desired Kitchen Bouquet Sauce Seasoning
Step 1
In a medium-large size non-stick skillet that has a 2″ high lip and a tight fitting lid, add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened (approximately 2 to 3 minutes). Remove the onions and pepper to a small bowl to cool and save the skillet for cooking the Salisbury Steaks later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onions and peppers, tomato, granulated garlic, parsley flakes, egg, milk, bread crumbs salt and pepper. Mix by hand until all ingredients are well combined and mixture forms a medium stiff paste.
Step 3
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form into an oval approximately 1 inch thick.
Step 4
Return the skillet to the burner and on medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and sear the Salisbury Steaks on both sides until browned, then remove them to a platter or cutting board to rest. Save the skillet, and its resulting oils and juices to saute the mushrooms.
Step 5
Add the mushrooms to the skillet with an additional tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté them until golden brown.
Step 6
Once the mushrooms are browned, add the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
Step 7
Mix together the cornstarch with JUST enough COLD water to make a slurry. Then, drizzle slowly into the simmering broth while whisking until you achieve a medium thick sauce. If you desire a darker color sauce, whisk in a small amount of Kitchen Bouquet Seasoning Liquid to achieve your desired color.
Step 8
Return the Salisbury Steaks to the skillet with the sauce covering each burger with some of the sauce while doing so.
Step 9
Turn the heat to a LOW simmer and cover the skillet with a lid. Simmer 20 minutes or until the steaks are firm, and cooked through to 165 F.
