Chef's Salisbury Steak with Luv Gravy

Source of Recipe


From "Cooking with Heart and Soul" by Isaac Hayes






List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1/4 tsp dried sage
  
• Sea salt to taste
  
• Ground black pepper to taste
  
• Four 5-ounce "steaks" of lean ground round
  
• About 1/3 cup safflower or canola oil
  
• 1 cup chopped yellow onions
  
• 1/2 cup spring water
  
• 1/3 cup milk
  






Instructions



1. Place the flour, sage, salt and pepper in a paper bag and shake to mix. Working with one steak at a time, shake in bag until completely coated with the flour mixture. Shake off the excess flour and reserve for the gravy.
   
   
2. Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/8-inch and heat over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Drain steaks on paper towels and set aside.
   
   
3. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the oil from the skillet. Add onions and cook over medium heat until very brown. Spread the flour-coating mixture over the bottom of the pan and stir until browned. Slowly add the spring water, stirring until it begins to boil. Add the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture steams.
   
   
4. Simmer the steaks in the gravy for about 5 minutes. Cover, turn off the heat, and let steaks stand for a few minutes to allow the meat to absorb the flavors of the gravy.
