Salisbury steak is actually a burger steak . It isn’t new to me and my family, we usually have it with mushroom gravy.
What caught my interest to try this recipe was primarily the picture in the magazine, it was very nicely plated and I thought that would be fun to try and besides we never had it (burger steak) with a French onion soup, something I thought I would never try because I used to dislike onion when I was younger. Another reason why I decided to make it was because when I read the recipe- despite the long list of ingredients- it was actually easier than the impression I got from it’s picture.
I just lack 2 ingredients, the parsley and spring onion plus I mistakenly added white instead of red but aside from these, I was happy with the outcome, it was really good I especially liked the crunchy cheesy toast the steak was serve on. I tried to copy the plating from the magazine as best as I could, I think I did a pretty good job ( not with the photo, though), if I should say so myself. I didn’t have parsley as I have mentioned so I just used basil instead.
My family liked it, we are rice eaters especially my husband, he has to have rice every meal but he liked this and didn’t look for rice or pasta ( and even if he did he couldn’t because I didn’t cook any, haha)

the onions
the cheese toasts
