French Onion Salisbury Steak

By

"This is a dish you can get on the table in about a half hour flat, and as my teenagers say--hella bomb! From Cuisine at Home. Serve over Cheese Toasts or frozen cheese toasts."

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lbs ground chuck
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons scallions, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cheese toast ( in frozen food section, or make your own)
  • 4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley ( garnish)
  • 4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, shredded

Preparation

Step 1

Combine chuck, parsley, scallion, salt, and pepper. Divide evenly into 4 portions and shape into 3/4 to 1-inch thick oval patties.

Place 2 tablespoons of flour in a shallow dish; dredge each patty in flour. Reserve 1 teaspoon flour.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and sauté 3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove from pan.

Add onions and sugar to pan; sauté 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; sauté 1 minute, or until paste begins to brown. Sprinkle onions with reserved flour; cook 1 minute. Stir in broth and wine, and then add the salt and thyme.

Return meat to pan and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 10 minutes.

Serve steaks on Cheese Toasts with onion soup ladled over. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan.

REVIEWS:

Very good recipe. I followed recipe except I used mozzarella instead of Swiss. Kids loved it.

I've been wanting to make this ever since I got the magazine in the mail a couple of years ago... Finally got around to trying it, and I sure am glad I did!! A little involved, but totally worth it! Delicious!!!

This recipe is FANTASTIC and will regularly be in my rotation.... I found it first in the Cuisine at home mag a friend gave me .... YUMMY!!! My son LOVED the taste of the bread in the juice - i followed the recipe for the cheese toast in the cuisine magazine that came w/this recipe instead of buying frozen - VERY good!!!! I also didn't have the low sodium broth on hand - used regular but it was not overly salty to me at all.. I did use only 1/2 tsp of kosher salt in broth just in case. I would prob put more flavoring into the ground meat to my liking - otherwise the sauce is the BOMB served this also with mashed potatoes and the gravy soaked into those and enhanced those as well - VERY VERY flavorful! used Merlot for the wine!

We make this quite often...perfect for company! I use Ciabatta bread cut into squares and broil Swiss and Parmesan cheeses on top before putting the Salisbury steak on top. What would we do without Cooks Country??

I saw this recipe in the same magazine, and made it for supper. My mom absolutely loved it. I didn't have scallions so I just used baby onions but it still was delicious!

My friend and I are in a cooking co-op and she made this one night for dinner and we LOVED it! It's really great over the cheese toast!! Thanks for posting!

I cooked this for my boyfriend and his parents. Everyone loved it!! Served it on top of egg noodles with the cheese toast on the side. Yummmmmmm!

Since finding this recipe I have made this over again. One unique way of having this dish is using the left over bread from olive garden. Always a hit when I make this dish. We all love it.

This is one of the best dinners I've made in a while-my husband went crazy for it!! The onion soup broth poured over the beef and cheese toasts tasted so amazing!! It seems like a lot of ingredients but don't let it scare you-it really is easy to make and tasted outstanding!! Great weeknight family meal.

My children love this and it is very simple to whip together during a busy weeknight.

I found this recipe through a food-related forum and whoever posted it got me really wanting it. I made it that night and it was delicious. I forgot to buy the thick toast, but it was still good. I loved it.

This was really good. I followed the recipe exactly and was very pleased with the outcome. I think the cheese toast really made the dish. I will be making this again.

Super yummy and easy to make, but it was a tad salty. I would put a little less salt in the meat and leave it out of the sauce entirely.

This was a quick dinner to put together. I mixed a small amount of the broth with cornstarch and added back into the main mixture to thicken into a gravy.

This was great because it was a nice change from the usual meat and potatoes. Thanks for sharing!

We all enjoyed this very much. I did add extra garlic and some red pepper flakes to the meat mixture, just a personal preference. I didn't have any cheese toasts, or the ingredients on hand to make them, but I did put a slice of Swiss cheese over the patties and waited a few minutes for them to melt. Next time I will definitely try the cheese toasts! Served over mashed taters. Thanks for posting, will make again!

Outstanding! One of the best things I've made in a while. I didn't have a problem with the patties since the soup and bread are both incredibly flavorful. If you live near a Trader Joe's, use their Parmesan Garlic Baguette for this recipe. Out of this world!!

This was pretty good. It was quick and easy to make and I had all the ingredients on hand. I followed the instructions exactly. The meat was flavored nicely with the onions, but I agree with another review that said it needed some tweaking. I think I would have preferred a more meatloaf-type texture. The overall flavor for me was okay (I didn't like the tomato paste), but my family loved it as is and gobbled it all up. No leftovers. I served it with store bought cheese toast and roasted corn.

Tasty and quick but I think the meat patties need just a bit of tweaking. My patties had no real flavor. I loved the broth and after setting it all up I sprinkled some grated Parmesan cheese all over the top. I will make again but plan to doctor the meat up some, making making it more "meatloaf" like.

I decided on Salisbury Steak at the last minute and this photo caught my eye. Oh boy, was this great!The flavor was first class (and not even too salty since I used a low-salt beef broth). The only change was that I served this over egg noodles. We also had peas, rolls, and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce to complete this wonderful meal.

I just made this tonight. I was impressed. The family loved it. Will definitely make again.

My family liked it, and I thought it was pretty good. I prepared it according to the recipe and I thought the meat patties needed a little more salt. The recipe was easy to follow.
