To make Salisbury Steaks: In a medium skillet melt butter in olive oil and cook onions for 3 minutes over medium heat.  Remove from heat and add milk, cream, stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and the bread. Mix to combine, letting bread soak up all the liquid. Once mixture is completely cool, add beaten egg and stir again to dissolve bread and egg into mixture. 

In a large bowl, combine three meats and add onion and bread mixture. Gently work mixture with your hands but do not over work the meat.

Form into 5 equal sized patties.

To make Mushroom Sauce: In a medium sauce pan, heat beef stock, cream salt, pepper, thyme, Worcestershire sauce and Kitchen Bouquet. Simmer over medium heat.

In a large skillet, heat 1 ounce of butter and olive oil over medium high heat. Once hot and frothy, add the 5 patties and cook about 5 minutes on each side. Gently remove to a platter. They will not be fully cooked yet.

Add the onions to the pan and cook at medium high for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and increase heat to almost high. Cook about 4 - 5 minutes until mushrooms are browned and have absorbed the liquid. Remove to a bowl and set aside. 

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted add flour and cook for 4-5 minutes.  Add hot stock, one third at a time, whisking with each third.  Add mushrooms and stir with wooden spoon. Add Salisbury steaks to sauce, along with any liquid from the platter and then spoon sauce over top of each steak. Cover pan and cook on medium low for 15-20 minutes.  Makes 5 servings
