Ingredients

• grass-fed ground beef1 pound
• soy-free Worcestershire sauce2 tablespoons
• gluten-free cracker crumbs1 cup
• tomato sauce or organic ketchup1 tablespoon
• egg1
• sea salt¼ teaspoon
• pepper1 teaspoon
• beef broth3 cups
• soy-free Worcestershire sauce1 tablespoon
• butter3 tablespoons
• arrowroot starch3 tablespoons
• mushrooms, sliced1½ cups
• cloves garlic, minced2
• sweet onion, sliced½
• Dijon mustard1 tablespoon
• fresh thyme1 teaspoon
• sea salt¼ teaspoon
• pepper1 teaspoon

Method

1. Place mushrooms, garlic, onions, herbs, salt and pepper at the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. In a bowl, mix ground beef, Worcestershire, crushed crackers, ketchup or tomato sauce, eggs, salt and pepper.
3. Form the mixture into 2–3 inch patties. This should make about 6–7 steaks.
4. Brown patties in a skillet and then place on top of mushroom mixture.
5. In a separate bowl, mix broth, Worcestershire sauce, starch, butter and mustard.
6. Pour broth mixture over the top of the patties in the slow cooker.
7. Cook on low for 6–8 hours.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Once all the beef broth is in the pan, add the remainder of the gravy ingredients. Stir well.
12. Add the steaks (and the juice from the plate). Cook for 7–8 minutes until the gravy is thickened. Stir occasionally near the steaks.
13. Whether slow cooked or on stovetop, serve the salisbury steaks topped with the gravy. It pairs very well with mashed potatoes and green beans.
