Instructions
-
Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, one tablespoon of the Au Jus sauce mix, salt, and pepper to taste, along with red pepper flakes and cumin. Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients gently until just combined, ensuring not to overwork the meat, which can make the patties tough.
-
Heat the Skillet: While you prepare the meat, place a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, allowing it to warm up thoroughly. This step is crucial for achieving a good sear on the patties, locking in flavor and moisture.
-
Form and Sear the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into oval patties, about ½ inch thick. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet. Sear them for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust. They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage as they will finish cooking in the oven. Once seared, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
-
Preheat the Oven: While the patties rest, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is ideal for baking the Salisbury steaks thoroughly while allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the Campbell’s soup, milk, and the remaining Au Jus sauce mix. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly. This rich, savory sauce will enhance the flavor of the Salisbury steaks while keeping them moist during baking.
-
Assemble the Dish: Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent the patties from sticking. Carefully place the seared Salisbury steaks into the pan. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the patties, ensuring they are well coated to absorb all that delicious flavor during baking.
-
Bake: Place the assembled dish into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches at least 160°F (70°C) and they are cooked through. The sauce should be bubbly and thickened slightly.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the Salisbury steaks from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Serve them hot alongside a portion of green beans and a big salad for a nutritious low-carb meal that is both hearty and satisfying.
This Easy Salisbury Steak recipe offers a deliciously savory experience without the guilt of traditional carb-heavy meals, making it a fantastic option for anyone looking to enjoy comfort food while sticking to a low-carb lifestyle.
