Over 2500 employees were laid off at that gulf coast resort, within 2 hours after the events of 9/11 took place. Three hours later I was hired at that resort as the chef du roti or "roundsman" because of my experience.
The comfort menu was a very great success! The style of that French comfort cuisine inspired me to create this Buffalo Salisbury Steak Recipe.
If you ever had to endure those really awful school cafeteria Salisbury Steaks, then this recipe will change your outlook of the reputation of this entree. If you have ever thought that the flavor of aluminum foil was part of a Salisbury Steak recipe, because you got stuck with a Salisbury Steak frozen TV dinner that a baby sitter cooked for you, when you were a child, then you will change your mind about Salisbury Steak after tasting this recipe! Most of you know as well as I do, Salisbury Steak deserves a better reputation!
Ground lean buffalo (American Bison) was my top choice of meat to raise the limits of Salisbury Steak to being a much sought after entree!

This is a very rich glace viande that can be frozen in portions for later use.

This is the epitome of Salisbury steak evolution! The flavors of the parsnips are so great with potato and scallion. The Buffalo Salisbury Steak is medium rare, juicy and full of great wild west flavor. The Glace Viande is so very rich and satisfying. The roasted shallot is nice with the steak and glace flavors. This is an exceptionally nice comfortable haute presentation with the accompaniment of the fluted mushrooms. Buffalo is a very fine choice of meat for a Salisbury steak. I love this recipe! I went haute "tacky" with the choice of wine. French Bicyclette Rose' is a light blush wine that is perfect "tacky" choice for this entree. Yummy! ... Shawna
