Mashed potatoes covered amongst Hamburger 'Steak' in addition to Gravy

Poor Man's Steak Rich inwards Flavor.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 steak amongst many names, this mishmash of hamburger beef isn't a steak at all. The closest cousin to Hamburger Steak, which is made amongst all beef (at to the lowest degree past times the United States standards) is Salisbury Steak which tin incorporate to a greater extent than fillers than yous think. What's the difference? Well, yous see, I retrieve Salisbury today agency differently than it did when introduced to us inwards the belatedly 1890's. doc J. H. Salisbury (1823–1905), an early on proponent of a low-carbohydrate diet, invented this poly peptide dish to aid inwards weight loss. He formed minced beef, seasonings in addition to bits of vegetables into patties resembling 'steaks' in addition to afterward cooking, served amongst a dark-brown gravy. Today, Salisbury Steaks require a minimum content of 65% meat, of which upwards to 25% tin survive pork, in addition to breadstuff crumbs, flour, oat flakes, etc. content adds upwards to an additional 12% amongst the remaining ingredients consisting of seasonings, vegetables in addition to binders.

Hamburger Steak agency beef amongst flavorings added such equally seasonings, vegetables in addition to inwards Aunt Ida's case, a lilliputian bacon for southernism. I am glad Aunt Ida stuck to pure hamburger meat without all the unnecessary fillers, extenders in addition to without binders similar eggs, breadcrumbs in addition to unneeded liquids.

Now her 'steaks' are to a greater extent than similar hamburger roasts equally each 1 is extra thick, similar to a mini meatloaf amongst a hamburger/steak taste. And the bargain maker to me is the rich gravy loaded amongst caramelized onions combining amongst tasty seasonings to plow over a wonderful,
flavorful sauce. I served this over Mamma's Mashed Potatoes in addition to nosotros practically licked our plates.  Enjoy!
