Comments: Dr. James Henry Salisbury might have been the first of the protein-diet doctors, proclaiming in 1888 that humankinds maladies were caused by too much starchy food. His solution? Chopped lean meat, or hamburger steak. To hide the "liver-y" taste of hamburger, he recommended adding horseradish, mustard or Worcestershire sauce. By the 1900s, Salisbury steak was a staple menu item, often served with mushroom gravy or smothered in onions. This version, inspired by today"s southwestern cooking, has terrific flavor.
