“Salisbury steak? Healthy? But, doesn’t red meat contribute to a higher risk of heart disease and high cholesterol?” The short answer is yes. However, as with most things, it is perfectly healthy in moderation. In fact, a well-rounded diet consisting of poultry, red meat, and fish are typically recommended.
Red meat provides your body with easily-absorbed iron and B12, both of which are critical to your overall blood health, while the significant levels of zinc contribute to a properly working immune system – and that’s something all of us can benefit from as flu season approaches!
And of course, there’s protein, a key nutrient that fortifies your bones and muscles. So, it’s safe to say that red meat should in fact hold a key place in your overall diet. And what better place to start than with this recipe? We believe even the pickiest eater in the family will enjoy this recipe and have some vegetables without even knowing it!
Onions are sneakily mixed into the ground beef, adding both flavor and nutrition to the unsuspecting diner. And with the quick and easy gravy that’s made in the pan, we have a strong suspicion they won’t notice a thing!
For the dish, we used plain breadcrumbs and still enjoyed a high flavor payoff, however, if you feel like spicing things up a bit more, feel free to experiment with Italian breadcrumbs, or even panko if you want a more detectable crunch. For the gravy, we took a step away from the typical use-all-the-drippings method and instead used the tasty bits left behind after preparing the patties to both reduce the calorie and fat level and still enjoy the meaty flavor of ground beef in the gravy.
As with most dishes, we invite you to season to taste, but don’t get carried away with the salt! Once your sauce has reached the desired level of thickness and flavor, all that’s left is adding in the patties to absorb the gravy.
