The best Salisbury steak I ever had was from the South Shore Cafe in
Alameda, CA. Theirs had no filler in it at all. Just a large, oval chopped
sirloin patty. It was grilled with green pepper, white onions and mushrooms
and served with beef gravy. Mashed potatoes or white rice on the side. I
think there was also a dinner salad. They served it with a slice of cheap
white bread. I could have done without the bread.

I have tried to make this at home. It's good. Just not as good as theirs.
Gee, I am craving this now. I think I will make this later this week. Need
to get the ingredients.
