I don’t know about you, but when I think of “Salisbury Steak” it conjures up visions of frozen TV dinners ~ do you remember those?  OK, maybe I am dating myself here, but I remember those crazy frozen dinners that came in aluminum partitioned pans, covered with foil that you put in the oven to heat and eat?  Now, I guess we would use the microwave if we were going the frozen dinner route, honestly I don’t know about that … that’s not my go-to food choice.

 

What I have here is an updated, completely fresh and sanctioned version of that old classic! This one is gluten-free and limited fat (considering that we are using grass-fed beef).  We made a roasted garlic & shallot sauce inspired by Conscious Cuisine by Chef Cary Neff, from Miraval Spa near Tucson, AZ. (This is an exquisite book with many amazing recipes that will tickle your taste buds while nourishing your body in a beautiful, healthful way.)

 

My dear friend Chef Barbara worked on and perfected this recipe and I am happy to share it with you today!  We paired it with caramelized onions, blanched broccoli, carrots, and a delicious gray made from the pan drippings, softened shallots, dijon mustard, homemade ketchup and some homemade beef consommé, pureed to a beautiful silky texture that is perfect to serve over your Salisbury Steak.

  4. Melt the oil and butter in a sauté pan and begin to caramelize the onions over medium heat -- with s/p -- stir occasionally to ensure that they do not burn
  5. Bring a pot of water to boil, add salt, and blanch the broccoli and carrots to set the bright color and par cook, take out and shock in ice water to stop the cooking.
  6. Continue to stir the onions until they reach the caramel stage and then add the balsamic vinegar to the pot and finish cooking on low heat.
  7. Next -- shape the burgers into oval 'steaks' and sear in a hot sauté pan on both sides and then put into the hot oven to finish cooking for 10 minutes.
