The BEST Salisbury Steak Recipe (Keto, Low Carb, LCHF)

I have kids. And being kids, they are picky eaters. In fact, the only things I can count on them always eating are pizza, hot dogs, and hamburgers...Oh, and Salisbury steak! Actually, Salisbury steak has become one of my entire family's favorite meals, and this recipe (which I originally found over at Low Carb Mavin) pleases everyone - whether or not they are eating keto.

P.S. I know the photo shows a very large serving of meat. I don't eat so much meat! It's my hubby's serving :)


The BEST Salisbury Steak Recipe


1 1/4 lbs. ground beef
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Montreal Steak Seasoning
1/4 cup crushed pork rinds (If you're opposed to this ingredient and aren't low carb, sub breadcrumbs; you may also omit this ingredient altogether, but the resulting Salsbury steak isn't nearly as good!)
1/4 cup + 1/3 cup heavy cream
Salt
Pepper
Bacon drippings or olive oil 
1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced OR chopped fine
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon beef stock or bouillon
1 tablespoon butter





1. In a small bowl, combine the pork rinds (or breadcrumbs) and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Set aside and allow to soak for about 10 minutes.

2. In a medium bowl, use your hands to combine ground beef, Worcestershire, and Montreal seasoning. With a spoon, stir in the pork rind mixture.

3. Divide the beef mixture into 4 sections and form each section into patties. Season both sides of each patty with salt and plenty of pepper.

4. Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a teaspoon or two of bacon drippings or oil. Once the bacon drippings are melted or the oil is hot, add the beef patties.

5. Cook the beef patties until their internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from the skillet and set on a plate, tenting with foil. Set aside.

6. Reduce heat to medium and add the mushrooms. (If there's little fat in the pan, add a dollop of butter.) Saute for about 1 minute. Add the onions and saute until tender.

7. Add the stock and water, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.

8. Add the cream and any juices that have accumulated on the plate the patties are sitting on. Simmer until sauce thickens a bit. Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper.

9. Serve the patties with sauce spooned over them.
