Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 to 2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped smoked turkey bacon, diced onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly without compacting the meat too much.
  2. Shape the Steaks and Brown Them: Form the meat mixture into evenly sized oval patties. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the patties on each side for about 3 minutes to develop flavor and lock in juices.
  3. Make the Salisbury Steak Sauce: In the same skillet, add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and gradually sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring. Let the mixture simmer briefly until it thickens slightly.
  4. Slow Cook the Steaks: Transfer the browned patties into the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and flavorful.
  5. Final Touches: Before serving, stir the sauce gently to coat the steaks perfectly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Pat the meat dry before browning to achieve a better crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; brown steaks in batches to maintain high heat.
  • Use fresh garlic and onions for natural sweetness and depth.
  • Cook slow and low for more tender and juicy meat.
  • Adjust sauce thickness by adding natural gelling agent gradually.
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 6 to 8 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high
