How many baby boomers had Salisbury steak in a TV dinner as a kid? I sure did. Although not with buffalo which is lower in fat and cholesterol than beef. There is a lot more flavor. Now, this is a little updated; they didn’t use gochujang, Dijon, Worcestershire, or buffalo. I also pretty sure those weren’t oyster mushrooms in the sauce. I also used a lot more herbs and spices than they did along with the lower salt content. I hope you like it.
