Instructions:

Step 1 – Prepare the Salisbury Steak:

1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onions, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix until well combined, then shape the mixture into oval patties.

Step 2 – Cook the Salisbury Steak:

1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil.
2. Cook the beef patties until browned on both sides and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove and set aside.

Step 3 – Make the Mushroom Gravy:

1. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced mushrooms, onions, and minced garlic until softened.
2. Sprinkle flour (or almond flour for keto version) over the vegetables and cook for a couple of minutes.
3. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens.
4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 4 – Combine and Simmer:

1. Return the cooked Salisbury steak patties to the skillet, coating them with the mushroom gravy.
2. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the flavors meld and the patties are heated through.

Step 5 – Garnish and Serve:

1. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the Salisbury steak for a burst of color and freshness.
2. Serve the steaks with a generous ladle of mushroom gravy.

Cook Notes:

• For juicier patties, avoid overmixing the ground beef mixture.
• Adjust the thickness of the gravy by controlling the amount of flour used.

Additional Tips:

• Elevate the dish by adding a splash of red wine to the mushroom gravy for a deeper flavor profile.
• Experiment with different mushroom varieties like cremini or shiitake for a twist on the classic.
