Notes

Stovetop Instructions

Cooking Salisbury steaks on the stove will require additional liquid - about 2 cups of beef broth. You can use a low sodium variety.
  1. Add lean ground beef, chopped onion, garlic powder, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, coconut flour, pepper, and kosher salt to a large bowl.
  2. Mix until combined, then form into 4 large oval patties (or 6 smaller patties). If desired, place patties in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes after shaping to help them keep their shape as they cook.
  3. Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the hamburger steaks (do not overcrowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary) and cook for 1 minute until browned on one side.
  4. Gently flip the steaks and brown on the other side. Only cook until browned, then remove the patties to a plate and set aside.
  5. If necessary, add additional oil to the pan. Add remaining chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium and add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the mixture.
  7. Add the hamburger steaks and any juices on the plate to the mixture. Cook about 6 minutes, until the beef is cooked through (the USDA recommends 160°F to 165°F - see our beef temperature chart) and the gravy has thickened somewhat.
  8. Once cooked through, remove the steaks to a plate. Remove 1 cup of liquid from the gravy and mix it with xanthan gum (or cornstarch). Whisk well, then add the mixture back to the gravy and stir until it thickens. Spoon the gravy over the steaks.
