Simple & Savory Salisbury Steak (Low Carb & Keto Friendly)

This is a simple & tasty way to elevate
hamburger meat.

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 tablespoons butter

8 ounces sliced mushrooms

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon arrowroot**

1/4 cup red wine

Method:

Add the beef, cream, cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to a large bowl. Use a large fork to thoroughly mix the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined. Form 4 patties from the mixture.

Melt two tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes on each side until browned.

Remove the browned patties and transfer to a plate.

Wipe clean the skillet, or in a new skillet, melt the remaining two tablespoons over medium heat.  Add the mushrooms and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Saute until the mushrooms release all of their liquid and it mostly evaporates.

Whisk together the broth, tomato paste and arrowroot. Add to the mushrooms. Stir and add the wine. Bring to a simmer (low boil). Return the browned patties to the skillet. Cover and cook at low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. 

Transfer the patties to 4 plates. Top each pattie with 1/4 of the mushromms and 2 or 3 tablespoons of the sauce. 

**You can find the arrowroot among the spices at the grocery store. It is a plant based, gluten free thickening agent.
