What is Salisbury Steak?
Salisbury steak is essentially a misnomer, as no actual steak goes into the recipe. Rather, meat patties are formed from a mixture of ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, and spices. This results in a texture that is more akin to meatballs or meatloaf than actual steak.
However, what makes Salisbury steak a standout dish is the thick, delicious gravy poured over the top. Serve with a side of mash and your favorite green veggies and you've got yourself a spectacular dinner.
