Salisbury steak with garlic mashed potatoes and corn is a comforting and hearty meal. Here’s a breakdown of each component and how to make it:
Salisbury Steak
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp flour (for thickening)
Instructions:
- Mix the steak patties: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into 4-5 patties.
- Cook the patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned.
- Prepare the gravy: Once the patties are browned, remove them from the skillet. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine: Return the patties to the skillet, cover them with the gravy, and let simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes (peeled and chopped)
- 3-4 cloves garlic (minced or crushed)
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the potatoes: Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender.
- Prepare garlic butter: While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
- Mash the potatoes: Drain the potatoes and mash them using a masher or a mixer. Stir in the garlic butter and gradually add milk or cream until you reach the desired creamy texture. Season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish: Top with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Corn
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the corn: In a saucepan, add corn and just enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes until tender.
- Butter it up: Drain the corn, then stir in the butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
