What readers are saying about this recipe

This recipe is amazing! It’s super easy and fairly quick… I served (it) with mashed potatoes. The gravy is delicious and I may have eaten a spoonful -or 5- of it all by itself. My daughter and fiancé, along with our 10-year old son, are rather picky, but they all 3 loved it! Actually the entire family practically inhaled dinner. This recipe will absolutely be on repeat at our house.

What is salisbury steak?

It’s kind of confusing, but salisbury steak isn’t really a cut of steak. It’s basically a fancy burger patty that’s simmered in brown gravy. You’ll typically see it served with mashed potatoes and maybe some green beans.

Does it really taste good?

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp ghee, divided, (or coconut oil for dairy free)
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced, (can omit for keto)
  • 3 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth, divided
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos, (see recipe notes)
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • chopped parsley, optional topping

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl combine beef, almond flour, egg, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup of beef broth. Mix well and form into 5 large patties.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp ghee. Once hot, add the beef patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side (or until cooked to your liking) and remove to a plate.
  • While the beef is cooking, prep onion and mushrooms as noted.
  • In a bowl, combine the remaining broth, coconut aminos, arrowroot starch, tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder and mustard powder. Stir to mix well and dissolve the arrowroot starch.
  • Once the beef is cooked, add 1 tbsp of ghee to the skillet. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir the broth mixture again to mix it up, then pour it into the pan. Scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pan and bring to a quick simmer. Turn down the heat to low. Simmer, stirring very frequently for 3-5 minutes, until the broth thickens into a gravy.
  • Add the beef patties back into the pan and nestle them in with the onions and mushrooms. Spoon some of the gravy over the beef. Cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve steak topped with gravy and optional parsley. Enjoy.
