Salisbury steak, which dates back to the mid-1860s, was created as a healthier and economical alternative to pricier beef cuts. The dish, associated with nostalgia, relies heavily on the choice of ground beef—experts recommend an 80/20 fat ratio for juiciness and flavor, while an 85/15 mix may lead to dryness. Despite its name, Salisbury steak is a uniquely American dish invented by Dr. James Salisbury, who believed it aided digestion while promoting a low-carb eating style. Over time, it transitioned from a health food to a classic comfort meal in American cuisine.
"If picking ground beef, use a good 80/20. If it's [too] lean, it is going to be dry."
"The higher fat content makes the beef juicier and more flavorful. Beef with the 85/15 label can potentially leave the meat too dry."
"Salisbury steak was invented in America as a health food originally believed to aid the digestion process while avoiding sugars and starches."
"Salisbury steak is an iconic dish that evolved from a health food to a staple of American comfort food over the years."
