Shape it into an oval disk and dredge each patty in flour.
Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and saute for 3 minutes on each side just until they brown. Remove from pan. Do not cook them all the way through.

Sprinkle onions with the reserved one tablespoon of flour; cook for one minute.

WHAT GOES WITH FRENCH ONION SALISBURY STEAK?
Let’s talk side dishes! Sometimes my favorite part of the meal is the sidedishes but, here the Salisbury Steak really shines the most! One of my favorite things to serve with this is mashed potatoes! We have a great recipe for Chantilly Mashed Potatoes. If you’re wanting to get in veggies, then this is great with a green side salad, fill it with your favorite chopped-up vegetables and dressing. Other options are these easy Candied Carrots and the most amazing Balsamic Glazed Brussel Sprouts with Bacon!
HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT LEFTOVERS?
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I prefer reheating the French Onion Salisbury Steak in the microwave because I like my meal ready quickly BUT you can also reheat it in a covered dish in the oven at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure your food is properly reheated.
CAN YOU FREEZE FRENCH ONION SALISBURY STEAK?
Yes, you can freeze Salisbury steak. I keep it in the freezer, for up to 3 months. I take them out of the freezer the night before and let them thaw in the fridge overnight. They are easily warmed up in the microwave once thawed. Alternatively, you can freeze it in freezer-to-oven containers and reheat it in the oven once thawed.
