Making The Ultimate Salisbury Steak At Home
This might be the best ground beef recipe in the world. We’re making the ultimate steak haché, the classic French chopped steak that inspired America’s Salisbury steak.
After travelling to Paris to try a traditional steak haché, we combine classic French bistro techniques with the best elements of a Salisbury steak recipe. The beef is hand-chopped for a steak-like texture, seared until deeply caramelised, basted with foaming butter and served pink in the centre.
To finish the dish, we make a rich homemade peppercorn sauce with brandy, beef stock, cream, Dijon mustard, sherry vinegar and three different peppercorns. It’s served with confit garlic, crispy shoestring fries and brioche toasted in the beef fat.
We also taste-test a £5 Hungry-Man Salisbury steak to see how the frozen American TV dinner compares with our freshly cooked version.
Whether you call it steak haché, chopped steak, hamburger steak or Salisbury steak, this is one of the best ways to transform ground beef into a restaurant-quality meal.
