Ingredients

Salisbury Steak Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
½ medium onion finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
1 tablespoon coconut flour
2 tablespoons olive oil

Keto Gravy Ingredients

½ medium onion chopped
½ pound cremini mushrooms sliced
¼ cup heavy cream
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon xanthan gum optional
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Add lean ground beef, chopped onion, garlic powder, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, coconut flour, pepper, and kosher salt to a large bowl.
1 pound lean ground beef, ½ medium onion, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon coconut flour
Mix until combined, then form into 4 large oval patties (or 6 smaller patties). If desired, place patties in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes after shaping to help them keep their shape as they cook.
Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the hamburger steaks (do not overcrowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary) and cook for 1 minute until browned on one side.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Gently flip the steaks and brown on the other side. Only cook until browned, then remove the patties to a plate and set aside.
If necessary, add additional oil to the pan. Add remaining chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
½ medium onion, ½ pound cremini mushrooms
Reduce the heat to medium and add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Slowly mix in heavy cream.
2 cups beef broth, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, Salt and pepper to taste, ¼ cup heavy cream
Add the hamburger steaks and any juices on the plate to the mixture. Cook about 6 minutes, until the beef is cooked through (the USDA recommends 160°F to 165°F - see our beef temperature chart) and the gravy has thickened somewhat.
Once cooked through, remove the steaks to a plate. Remove 1 cup of liquid from the gravy and mix it with xanthan gum (or cornstarch). Whisk well, then add the mixture back to the gravy and stir until it thickens. Spoon the gravy over the steaks.
½ teaspoon xanthan gum

Notes

- Use lean ground beef! Lean ground beef is great for this dish as it contains less fat and produces less grease, which isn't drained and thus can make the gravy greasy. However, you can also use an 80/20 mix or even ground turkey, if you prefer!

- If you don't like mushrooms, double the amount of onions and make it an onion gravy. You can even use a French onion soup packet for Salisbury steak with onion soup mix!

- Don't quick release the pressure right away. Instead, let it naturally release; this helps the meat stay nice and tender, and lets it rest so the patties are juicy.

- Don't over-work the meat mixture. Mix for only 35-40 seconds, until well incorporated but not a paste. Over-mixed meat gets tough and dense!

- Try out Salisbury meatballs! Instead of forming your beef into patties, try out a meatball version of this Salisbury recipe! Just make sure to chop the onion finely or the meatballs may fall apart.

- Sear the patties first! Salisbury steak patties are always better when you sear them on both sides first. This greatly enhances the flavor of the dish.
