Special Salisbury Steaks

This savory Salisbury steak recipe is an easy one-pan dinner with homemade beef patties simmered with onions and mushrooms in a rich brown gravy. If keto serve it over squash puree or cauliflower puree, if not mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. While this is a retro meal, it is good enough for any special occasion.

Equipment

Method
 

For the Steaks
  1. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, garlic powder and egg. Mix well until all combined. Form into 6 to 8 oval patties.
  2. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium high heat. Fry the patties until a little browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
For the Gravy
  1.  Reduce the heat to medium and add in the sliced onions and mushrooms. Stir and cook until golden brown and somewhat soft, for several minutes. Add the additional butter. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle the flour on the onions and mushrooms quickly until coated (NOTE - Skip this if using arrowroot to thicken sauce) Add the beef bone broth, ketchup, the "Better Than Bouillon" and the Worcestershire. (NOTE - if using the arrowroot...combine it with a little beef broth and add to the sauce). Stir and cook until a little thickened.
  2. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper and more broth if needed for thinning. Then return the patties to the gravy. Spoon the gravy over the top and let them simmer and heat until patties are fully cooked to desired doneness 10 to 20 minutes.
