### Broiled Salisbury Steaks Recipe
#### Introduction to Salisbury Steak
Salisbury steak is a classic comfort food that has been a staple in many American households. Made from ground beef (often seasoned with breadcrumbs or cornmeal), it's typically pan-fried, broiled, or baked before serving. This recipe will guide you through making deliciously tender and flavorful broiled Salisbury steaks.
#### Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
#### Instructions
**Step 1: Prepare the Ground Beef**
1. **Mix Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. **Form Patties**: Divide the mixture into six equal portions and shape them into patties about an inch thick.
**Step 2: Preheat Broiler**
3. **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven broiler to high heat (450°F - 500°F).
4. **Line Pan**: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
**Step 3: Brown the Patties**
5. **Sear Patties**: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
6. **Cook Patties**: Place the patties in the hot pan and cook on one side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
7. **Flip Patties**: Carefully flip the patties using tongs or a spatula and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
**Step 4: Broil the Patties**
8. **Broil Patties**: Transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet. If desired, pour some beef broth over each patty for added moisture.
9. **Broil Time**: Place in the preheated oven and broil until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 5-7 minutes.
**Step 5: Serve**
10. **Garnish**: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
11. **Serving Suggestions**: Serve with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or creamy horseradish sauce.
#### Tips and Tricks
- Use lean ground beef to ensure a healthier dish while still maintaining good texture.
- Season the patties well before cooking for enhanced flavor.
