As cool weather is near, we love to get back to some of our favourite comfort food. Salisbury Steak is at the top of the list. It is budget-friendly with the ground beef base but packs full flavour in every bite when accompanied by Salisbury steak gravy and our onion-infused mashed potatoes. Who doesn’t love budget-friendly meals?
Salisbury Steak is traditionally served with mashed potatoes. We like to amp up our mashed potatoes by giving them an infusion of onion. Add a steamed vegetable, such as green beans or broccoli and you have a top-notch comfort food meal.
In our kitchen, we like to use cast iron whenever possible. The heat seems more even and it keeps your food hotter for longer. The cast iron reheats much quicker, simply because it holds the heat longer. The more you use cast iron the more flavorful your food will be. It is also attractive for serving. This Salisbury Steak recipe can be served in a large skillet. It looks nice on the table and as mentioned, will keep your food hotter for longer.
Sometimes people are intimidated by cast iron because of the need to season the pan. Seasoning is quite easy.
To season, you just put some oil in the pan and then bake it for an hour at 350° F. We use canola oil. We put a little in the pan and wipe it around with a paper towel and then put it in the oven, with cooking time set for 1 hour and leave it. It is worth it.
Cast iron is also heavier than a traditional skillet and there is no lighter option. We like the nice heavy pan.
Clean your cast-iron skillet pan with a chain maille scrubber. These work amazingly well. Once you use one, you’ll never go back!
