Asian "Salisbury" Steak
The original Salisbury steak was named after a popular late-19th-century diet doctor who recommended a high-protein diet. This version only resembles the classic in name and shape--the flavors are Asian rather than European and it's served atop a tender bed of sauteed watercress. Make It a Meal: Add brown rice or rice noodles and a cold Tsingtao beer.
Ingredients
-
12 ounces 90%-lean ground beef
-
3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
-
3/4 cup chopped scallions
-
1/4 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
-
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce, divided
-
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
-
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
-
4 bunches or 2 4-ounce bags watercress, trimmed (16 cups)
-
1/2 cup Shao Hsing rice wine, (see Ingredient note) or dry sherry
Directions
1.
Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat the broiler. Coat a broiler pan and rack with cooking spray.
2.
Gently mix beef, bell pepper, scallions, breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce and ginger in a medium bowl until just combined. Form the mixture into 4 oblong patties and place on the broiler-pan rack. Brush the tops of the patties with 1 teaspoon oil. Broil, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
3.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add watercress and cook, stirring often, until just wilted, 1 to 3 minutes. Divide the watercress among 4 plates. Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add rice wine (or sherry) and the remaining 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce and stir until smooth, bubbling and slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Top the watercress with the Salisbury steaks and drizzle with the pan sauce.
Tip:
Ingredient Note: Shao Hsing (or Shaoxing) is a seasoned rice wine available in most Asian specialty markets and some larger supermarkets' Asian sections.
