Recipe
Serves 6
For the Steaks:
1 lb. (450g) ground lean beef
1 green pepper, finely chopped
¼ cup (30g) gluten-free breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low-carb)
1 egg
2 tsp. tomato ketchup
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
½ tsp. dried parsley
½ tsp. onion powder
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. olive oil
For the Gravy:
2 tbsp. dairy-free butter (e.g., Miyoko’s or coconut oil)
2 tbsp. gluten-free flour (e.g., cassava, rice, or almond flour)
1½ cups (350ml) beef broth
1 tsp. tomato ketchup
1 tsp. coconut aminos
½ tsp. onion powder
3 cups (250g) brown button mushrooms, sliced
How to Prepare
In a large bowl, mix all the steak ingredients (except olive oil) with your hands. Shape into 6 even-sized patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the steaks for 3-5 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and melt the dairy-free butter in the skillet. Stir in the gluten-free flour and cook until slightly browned.
Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to combine.
Stir in ketchup, coconut aminos, and onion powder. Add mushrooms, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Return the patties to the skillet, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until fully cooked.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
