Have you ever had Salisbury Steak? Honestly, it is one of my go-to recipes when I don’t have much to cook, and I need a quick, low-carb meal (psst! minus the potatoes!). Salisbury Steak used to be known as the “poor man’s” steak, but honestly, this can be a quick steak fix anytime you’re in a pinch or simply want some beef in your life! (I get this way)

How to make Salisbury Steak
I know what your thinking; so, don’t overthink this 😅. It will feel a lot like making a hamburger patty–which in many ways you are…but not. Plus, no one is judging you because you refused the bun. It’s a great way to get lean protein and flavor simultaneously!
Step One: Gather supplies and ingredients, and throw them into a bowl
Combine ground beef, beef of boullion, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Step two: Combine Steak ingredients and make patties.
Mix together well by grabbing and mixing with your hand. Shape mixture into 4-6 oval patties and set aside.
Step three: Cook the Salisbury Steak Patties
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
Step four: Put to the side, begin butter.
Remove patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Let the side that was touching the pan (the hot side) breathe by placing it up (towards the ceiling). This helps the cooked side breathe and not get soggy.
Making the Ginger Butter
This is the magic sauce. Unique and creamy with a hint of that ginger heat. (If you despise Ginger, still give it a try, you can always discard and use the butter recipe without ginger. Sub onion powder and garlic for ginger alternative!)
Step one: start with butter sauce
In the same skillet on low heat, melt butter, add onions, mushrooms, and grated ginger. Cook until onions are translucent and mushrooms are soft. .
step two: add cream and broth
Add beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
Step three: return Salisbury Steaks to pan with the Awesomesauce
Return the patties to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes, flipping over to coat each side.
Step four: Heat and spoon Over top
Serve the Salisbury steak hot with the ginger butter sauce spooned over the top.
The final result? Heaven in a patty. Who woulda thought?! 🤗
