I know what you are thinking. Salisbury Steak?!? That brings you back to 3rd-grade lunchroom when the cafeteria lady slaps that “meat” patty on your tray. I typically don’t go old school like this. But for some reason, I thought about Salisbury Steak this week and figured I would add it to the menu for the week and give it a go. It actually turned out really good. REALLY good.
I used straight hamburger meat. You can do a mix of ground beef, pork, or turkey if you want. And I tried to keep it as simple as possible while making it a clean meal. I used fine Almond Flour instead of All-Purpose to bind the meat mixture. For the gravy, I used Coconut Aminos instead of Worcestershire and Tapioca Flour instead of All-Purpose Flour to thicken the gravy. For the potatoes, I used Almond/Cashew Milk, Chicken Broth, and Ghee. This meal was exactly what I wanted. It cured the nostalgia. It was warm, comforting and healthy!
