Easy Salisbury Steak

 

Easy Salisbury Steak

I came across this recipe on Pinterest and thought it looked really yummy. Be warned though, I've never had actual salisbury steak so I have no idea if this tastes like the real deal or not, but it was mighty delicious! I followed the recipe but didn't roast potatoes and I used a vidalia onion. One aspect of this recipe I love is the portion size, it gives you two perfectly portioned steaks. One of my greatest weaknesses is portioning the food I eat, I'm absolutely terrible at it and always make way too much, but this recipe is perfectly portioned as it is so it takes away the guesswork. I do know that normal salisbury steak has gravy on it, and this recipe kind of needs that. It tasted really yummy, but was a bit dry and dense and could've used some gravy. I was scooping up some mashed potatoes with every bite to add moisture. Otherwise, I really liked this recipe and I'll definitely make it again!

BTW, I served this steak with mashed potatoes and sauteed broccolini w/ a bit a parmesan cheese on top, but this dish is really flexible so serve it with your favorite starch/veggie combo!

Birthday Chuck Steak Roast

Birthday Chuck Steak Roast

You can't get much simpler than this recipe. It was really good but I think I would change the meat up just a little. I usually do a meatloaf for my husband's birthday dinner, but I thought, with the clean eating, why not go primitive and do a delicious roast.
I layered the bottom of the crock pot with organic baby carrots, halved red potatoes, and chopped up half of a sweet onion, I threw on top of all that goodness a pretty chuck eye steak I procured. I used spices sparingly, just a little S&P, and put some chicken stock at the bottom, and splashed some Worcestershire on top.

Comment: The meat was very fatty. I would definitely use a less marbleized, more lean meat next time.
