Tips & Tricks
- Don't overmix the beef: When forming the beef patties, be careful not to overwork the meat. Overmixing can result in tough and dry patties.
- Use fresh herbs and aromatics: Adding fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley can really take the flavor of your dish to the next level. You can also add some garlic for added depth of flavor.
- Free free to play with the seasonings: Worcestershire sauce, dry onion soup mix, garlic powder and onion powder are nice additions.
- Serve with mashed potatoes: There's nothing quite like serving Salisbury steak with creamy mashed potatoes. It's the ultimate comfort food combination that's sure to warm you up on even the coldest of nights. You could also serve with rice or egg noodles. Round out the meal with some fresh veggies - green beans and carrots are a nice addition to the plate.
