Ingredients
Scale
Patties
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mushroom Gravy
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup grape juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a medium bowl, gently combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, diced onions, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), plant-based milk, salt, and pepper. Mix just until blended to keep the patties tender and juicy. Shape the mixture into oval patties about 1/2 inch thick and set aside.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and cover lightly to keep warm.
- Make the Mushroom Gravy: In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until soft and golden. Stir in diced onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant. Pour in grape juice and balsamic vinegar (natural), scraping the bottom of the pan to release all flavorful bits. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and cook the gravy until thickened and glossy.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the patties to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the patties to absorb the sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve Salisbury Steak hot, spooning extra mushroom gravy on top. Pair with your favorite sides like plant-based mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- Do not overmix the patties to maintain tenderness.
- Brown patties well to develop a flavorful crust.
- Use fresh mushrooms for enhanced earthiness and texture.
- Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent gradually for desired gravy thickness.
- Let patties rest in the gravy before serving for maximum flavor absorption.
