what is the difference between salisbury steak and meatloaf
There’s not too much that separates salisbury steak from meatloaf exempt from preparation and how it is served. Meatloaf is usually shaped as a loaf that can be sliced to serve, while salisbury steak is formed into hamburger patties. The meat mixture is similar, however meatloaf usually requires more of a binder so that it can hold its form. For serving, meatloaf usually has a sauce baked on top, but can have gravy poured on top as well. Salisbury steak has no sauce baked on as it is usually pan or griddle fried. Salisbury steak is always served with a gravy, sometimes with onion, mushrooms or bacon.
What makes a good gravy
A good gravy starts with a good pan sauce. Using the drippings imparts more flavor. The gravy should be silky smooth, but thick enough to coat a spoon and cling to it. If your gravy is too thick, thin it out with a bit of beef stock. If your gravy is too thin, either reduce it by cooking more or add in a bit of flour to thicken it up.
