Ingredients

For the Steaks

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs *
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 Tbsp ketchup
  • 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil for cooking

For The Gravy

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or more avocado oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 2 Tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular all-purpose flour flour**
  • 1 1/2 cups beef stock
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Make the Hamburger Steak:

  • Add all of the ingredients for the steaks to a large mixing bowl and use your hands to squish everything together until it is well-combined.
  • Form 5 beef patties out of the steak mixture.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of avocado oil (or cooking oil of choice). Allow the skillet to heat up for a few minutes until it is sizzling hot.
  • Carefully place the beef patties on the hot skillet and cook for 1 minute, until a golden brown crust forms. Carefully flip the meat patties, and cook for another minute. Transfer the seared hamburger patties to a plate and set them aside (there is no need to cook the patties through just yet).

Make the Gravy:

  • Place the skillet back onto the burner over medium heat and add the avocado oil and butter to make the gravy.
  • Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and garlic and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to sweat and turn slightly brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour.
  • Pour the beef broth, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Bring the gravy to a full but controlled boil.
  • Place the browned beef patties back into the skillet in a single layer with the gravy and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the patties and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the gravy is thick.
  • Serve Salisbury steaks with your choice of side dishes and enjoy.

Notes

*Use regular bread crumbs, Panko breadcrumbs, or gluten-free breadcrumbs. You can replace the breadcrumbs with 1/3 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour.
**For a paleo option, use 1/2 cup of tapioca flour in the meat mixture and 2 teaspoons of tapioca flour for the gravy.
