Cutlets in skillfully disguised as steaks – one of the most interesting culinary concepts of Americans
“Salisbury steak” – not really a steak, but an imitation of ground beef, so in fact – a large cutlet. American therapist James Salisbury came up with this beautiful and delicious “trick”. And one of the main nuances of the dish is the sauce, which can be different, but undoubtedly the best is French onions.
We present the author’s Salisbury steak recipe from TV presenter Rachel Ray, chef and author of exciting cookbooks.
Salisbury steak with French onion sauce
Contents
- minced meat – 0.7 kg;
- bulbs – 2;
- grated onion – 3 tbsp. l.;
- milk;
- flour – 2 tbsp. l.;
- egg – 1;
- stale white bread – 2 slices
- Worcestershire sauce – 1/4 cup l.;
- dry white wine – half a glass;
- broth – 1 cup;
- Oregano;
- Leave of Daphne;
- butter – 2 tbsp. l.;
- olive oil;
- salt pepper
Salisbury steak starts small. Pour a little olive oil into the pan, heat it over medium heat, add butter and add the onion chopped in half rings to this mixture. Add salt, pepper, chopped thyme and bay leaf. You should work with the onion for about 20 minutes until it caramelizes – that is, until it is light golden and soft.
Soak stale white bread with cut crusts in milk. We put the minced meat in a bowl, add the egg and pre-soaked bread (with which we squeeze the liquid), a little Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons of grated onion. All this salt, pepper and mix. From the resulting mass, we form 4 cutlets, most similar to steak 2.5 centimeters thick.
We’re halfway through cooking the Salisbury steak. Then heat the pan well, add olive oil to it. Fry our steaks for about 15 minutes over medium heat, periodically turning them over. Transfer to a plate when ready. Leave the frying pan for the final stage.
Now it’s sauce time. Sprinkle the caramelized onions with flour, mix well. Pour half a glass of white wine into the pan in which the steaks were fried, mix with the remaining frying and pour into the onion. Add a glass of broth to it. If necessary, adjust the density with flour. This is how french onion sauce is made!
Drizzle over Salisbury steak and enjoy.
