SALISBURY STEAK

Category: Ground

Patties:
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 medium onion
1/2 green bell pepper
1 stalk celery
2 tablespoons snipped parsley
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
4 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms – about 1 cup
1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash of bottled hot pepper sauce
Preheat broiler. Place the ground beef in a large bowl; set aside.

In a food processor, combine onion, bell pepper, celery, parsley and garlic. Pulse until minced. Alternately, finely chop with a knife. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the beef – do not stir.

Add the dry mustard, marjoram, thyme, paprika, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix all ingredients, but be careful to not overwork the meat. Shape the mixture into 8 patties about 3/4 inch thick. Place the patties under the broiler and cook for 12 to 14 minutes, or until done, turning halfway through.

To make the sauce:
In a large saucepan, melt the butter, add the mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat until the mushrooms are tender. Sprinkle with the flour; stir. Add the chili sauce, red wine, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Cook and stir until the mixture is bubbly. Cook for 1 minute more. Serve the sauce over the patties.
