When it’s too cold to do anything outside and you have a snow day, you might as well try a new cold weather comfort food. I made salisbury steak!
Let’s face it. Salisbury steak is all about the gravy, so I used vegetarian hamburgers for my “steak”, but you can use a real hamburger or make your own chopped steak. Here’s the gravy recipe.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 large portobello mushroom coarsely chopped
1/4 Cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
2 Tablespoon flour
1 1/2 Cup vegetable stock (or beef stock if you are using real meat)
1 Tablespoon ketchup
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
salt and pepper to taste
2 veggie burger (or hamburger) patties
In butter, sautee the chopped mushroom, garlic, and onion in an iron skillet. Add the flour and stir letting it brown a bit. Add the vegetable stock and seasonings and stir until it is thick and bubbly. Add the (microwaved to thaw) veggie burgers (or already cooked hamburgers) until everything is hot.
I had enough of the gravy with this that I used a third burger to make a mushroom swiss burger.
It was delicious, but very messy.
Easy peasy cold day comfort food!
