How To Make Cheese Stuffed Salisbury Steak: 

Step One:  Combine the ground beef, egg and crushed pork rind crumbs in a mixing bowl.

Note:  Pork Rinds can be crumbled by using a food processor or placing them into a Ziploc and use a rolling pin to crush them

Step Two:  Add the onion powder, garlic powder, tomato paste and 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. 

Step Three:  Add salt and pepper to taste

Step Four:  Mix all the ingredients well with your hands

Step Five:  Cut into 3 equal pieces all of the mozzarella sticks

Step Six:  Make a patty out of the meat mixture, holding it in your hand, place two pieces of cut mozzarella stick into the center of the patty.  Cover the cheese with another small patty of the meat.  

Note:  Mixture should make 6-8 stuffed meat patties depending on how big you make them. Try to make them all equal sizes to they cook evenly.

Step Seven:  In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 TBSP of olive oil and 1 TBSP of unsalted butter

Step Eight:  Add the meat steaks to the hot skillet and cook 5-6 minutes or until the desired doneness on each side – only flipping once for best results

Step Nine: Remove meat from skillet and keep warm

Step Ten:  Add onions to the skillet and cook until brown and tender 

Note:  Remove some of the pan drippings if necessary

Step Eleven:  Add 2 cups of beef bone broth to the skillet – scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it.  

Step Twelve:  Using a whisk, add 2 TBSP of softened cream cheese, 1 tsp of tomato paste, 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste

Step Thirteen:  Simmer gravy mixture over medium heat until the sauce thickens

Note:  Optional addition of ¼ cup of heavy whipping cream to assist in sauce thicken if desired

Enjoy!

What Should I Serve My Cheese Stuffed Salisbury Steak With?

My personal favorite additions to this meal are broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, or on a bed of arugula, kale, swiss chard, and spinach.   

Can I Substitute Other Proteins for Beef?

Not a beef fan?  You can substitute the beef for other ground proteins such as Lamb, Buffalo, Turkey, or Pork.  This gives you a whole new flavor profile to your traditional Stuffed Cheese Salisbury Steak.   

Can I freeze this Stuffed Salisbury Steak and How Long?

Yes, you can portion and freeze this cooked or raw.  If you plan to cook this meal and freeze it, I suggest cooking it partially through and then when you are ready to serve it you thaw it and then cook it completely in a hot skillet.  If you are freezing “leftovers” then I suggest thawing and reheating it quickly in the microwave. You can store this for up to 3 months in a vacuum-sealed container.

Now, remember to save this recipe on Pinterest for later 🙂
