Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 2 tablespoons soy-free Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup gluten-free cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon tomato sauce or organic ketchup
- 1 egg
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Gravy
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy-free Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot starch
- 1½ cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ sweet onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Place mushrooms, garlic, onions, herbs, salt and pepper at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, Worcestershire, crushed crackers, ketchup or tomato sauce, eggs, salt and pepper.
- Form the mixture into 2–3 inch patties. This should make about 6–7 steaks.
- Brown patties in a skillet and then place on top of mushroom mixture.
- In a separate bowl, mix broth, Worcestershire sauce, starch, butter and mustard.
- Pour broth mixture over the top of the patties in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 6–8 hours.
- Okay, no slow cooker? Here’s how to cook it on the stovetop. Make up the steaks and cook them on a large skillet with a little butter. Brown both sides for a minute or two, then remove and put on a plate.
- Add a little more butter to the pan and then cook the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and add butter. Once it’s melted, add the arrowroot and cook for 30 seconds, whisking constantly. Bit by bit, add the beef broth and keep whisking.
- Once all the beef broth is in the pan, add the remainder of the gravy ingredients. Stir well.
- Add the steaks (and the juice from the plate). Cook for 7–8 minutes until the gravy is thickened. Stir occasionally near the steaks.
- Whether slow cooked or on stovetop, serve the salisbury steaks topped with the gravy. It pairs very well with mashed potatoes and green beans.
