Ingredients
Scale
Patties
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if desired)
- 1/4 cup onion, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tbsp plant-based butter
- 1 cup mushrooms, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, plant-based cheese, breadcrumbs, minced onion, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed. Shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties to ensure tender and flavorful Salisbury Steaks.
- Brown the Patties: Heat plant-based butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they develop a browned crust, sealing in juices and flavor.
- Make the Mushroom Gravy: In the same skillet, add diced mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and broth. Gradually sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and glossy. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Simmer Patties in Gravy: Return the browned patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10 to 12 minutes to meld flavors and finish cooking the patties.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate the Salisbury Steak patties and generously spoon the mushroom gravy over them. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the patty ingredients to maintain tenderness.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the richest and most flavorful gravy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning of the gravy before simmering the patties.
- Let patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.
- Add the natural gelling agent gradually to prevent lumps and avoid an overly thick gravy.
