One of my favorite meals lately has been a small salisbury steak with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and asparagus on top. One bowl, potatoes on the side. Ground beef, 1 egg, bread crumbs, spices. I cook the thin patty light sear, then take it out of the pan, then saute the mushrooms. Take out. Make the gravy - beef broth, better than bouillon beef, spices, thicken at the end with a little corn starch slurry. Put the meat and mushrooms in the skillet and simmer about 15 minutes while I am mashing the potato. Saute the asparagus separately and I like it still green and crunchy.
That is EXACTLY how I made supper tonight - sans the Asparagus. We had mixed veggies as a side.
I used the last of the (male) Asparagus in the Quiche I made for Brunch.
All the, ‘Asparagus Ladies’ are now left to get their frond on, LOL! :)
That sounds like a winner!
I have been making Nagi’s Salisbury Steak recipe. Same procedure - sear off ‘steak’ & remove, make mushroom gravy & add steak back in to simmer & finish cooking.
I had company coming a month ago, not sure of exact arrival time. I seared steaks & put in the crockpot, made the gravy & poured it over. The crockpot was on 3-4 hours. The steaks cooked & the food was nice & hot at dinner time. I served with mashed potatoes & smothered green beans. I don’t have asparagus unless I buy them.
I love this dinner - to me, it’s ‘old fashioned’ comfort food & an economic use of ground meat. I actually use venison & no one has noticed :-)
