Salisbury steak has a long history with the low-carb community. It’s named after Dr. Salisbury, who was an early advocate for the low carb style of eating. His diet recommending eating these three times a day, which is probably a bit much. It’s almost a bit funny that most of the Salisbury steak served today has high carb fillers, gravy with flour in it, or noodles on the side. This recipe takes Salisbury steak back to its low carb roots.
This Salisbury steak uses almond flour in the beef patties, then serves it up with mashed cauliflower and savory mushroom gravy. While the beef patties are cooking in the oven, whip up the gravy for a meal that comes together quickly. This dinner is great for meal prep too.
