CHEF JOHN'S SALISBURY STEAK
When I was a kid, we didn't have smartphones or the internet, all we had was a TV. But we didn't care because as we watched, we got to enjoy a little something called a "TV dinner." The king of those dinners, in my opinion, was the Salisbury steak, which is what I'll show you how to make here, along with one of the greatest gravies ever invented. Serve with buttered mashed potatoes and a vegetable side of your choice.

Steps:
- Combine beef, black pepper, dry mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, egg, cayenne, and bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or your hands to stir the ingredients until very evenly distributed.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- While the meat is resting, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick pan over high heat; add mushrooms, onions, and a pinch of salt. Saute, stirring occasionally, until very nicely browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.
- Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth; increase heat to high. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens slightly and reduces, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Transfer to a glass measuring cup, scraping the pan clean with a spatula, and reserve.
- Remove meat from the refrigerator and divide into 4 equal portions. Moisten hands and form into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides of the patties lightly with salt.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the previously used nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour in gravy and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until gravy is piping hot, and the meat is just cooked through and springs back lightly when touched, about 5 minutes.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH STEAK
This steak is very very delicious and juicy. My mother says I have spoiled her and swears it is better than the "Outback Steakhouse." If you like tender, juicy steak here it is. Prep time includes an hour for marinating. The longer the better!! If you want to decrease serving size it is not necessary to decrease amount of marinade.

Steps:
- Place thawed steak in a casserole dish fit to size of steaks.
- Sprinkle desired amount of meat tenderizer on one side of each steak and then, using a fork, fork the meat tenderizer into the steak very thoroughly (you cannot overdo it, the more the better!) Flip each steak over and repeat step 2 on other side of steak.
- Combine last seven ingredients in a separate bowl and microwave for 2 minutes.
- Pour mixture over steaks (the heated mixture helps the sugar dissolve and the meat soak the marinade up better but is not required).
- Marinate desired time however the longer the better.
- Put the steak on the grill and cook it how you like it.
- (I usually save the marinade and baste in while cooking, this keeps it extra juicy) Enjoy!

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH STEAK
This wonderful and easy recipe was given by a friend who recommended using skirt steak; I have adapted it to work with any cut of steak, even a cheap chuck steak. In other words, it works whatever your budget is. Most of the work can be done in advance; just save the last 30 minutes of baking for before serving. I have been told that this reheats well, but we've never had enough leftover to know.... Using scallions here is the key to the recipe; do not substitute other onions. That said, you can use absolutely any type of barbecue sauce since they all work well.
