For this salisbury steak you will need:

      2 pounds of lean ground beef

      1  cup fresh bread crumbs

     1 whole egg

     1/2 cup milk

     1 green pepper finely chopped

     1 medium onion finely chopped

      salt and pepper to taste

For the gravy:

     1 large onion sliced into rings

     2 tablespoons butter

     3 tablespoons flour

     2 cups beef broth

     fresh ground pepper

Put the ground beef in a bowl and add the egg and milk, mix well then add the onion, green pepper, salt, pepper and the bread crumbs,  then mix well with your hands. Form into 8 “steaks” and then cook in a large heated skillet until done. Remove from skillet to a platter, add the butter to the skillet and let heat, add the sliced onions and ground pepper and saute until they are beginning to take on some color, add the flour and let cook for a minute or two. Slowly add in the beef broth, whisk and stir until it comes to a boil, allow to boil until it thickens then add the steaks back into the gravy and continue to simmer another 5-10 minutes until the steaks are heated thru. I form them into rectangles because the shape packs well into hubbys favorite  microwave dish, he takes leftovers the next day for lunch, he says they taste even better than the night they are made. We usually have them with either rice, wide noodles or fresh mashed potatoes.
