Ingredients
For the Salisbury Steaks:
- 3 lbs. grass-fed ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup Cream of Mushroom Soup (paleo-friendly if available)
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons fat (grass-fed butter or preferred fat)
For the Gravy:
- 1 pkg. mushrooms (crimini or button), sliced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/3 cup Paleo Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 cups Cream of Mushroom Soup (paleo-friendly if available)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Salisbury Steaks
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, 1/4 cup of Cream of Mushroom Soup, almond meal, and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook Patties: In a large skillet, heat the fat over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Gravy
- Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Broth and Sauce: Stir in the beef broth and Paleo Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add Cream of Mushroom Soup: Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cream of Mushroom Soup until well combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 3: Combine and Serve
- Return Patties to Skillet: Add the cooked patties back to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over them.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the patties simmer in the gravy for about 10-15 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
- Serve: Serve the Salisbury Steaks hot, topped with the mushroom gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes, cauliflower mash, or your favorite vegetable side.
