EQUIPMENT:

INGREDIENTS:

TO MAKE THE MEATBALLS:

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 2 tbsp. almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper

TO MAKE THE GRAVY:

  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 1 tsp. garlic
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ¼ tsp. xanthan gum
  • Salt and pepper

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

BEEF:

  • We have to use 80/20 ground beef for the ideal ratio of taste to fat. You can use leaner meat, but the meatballs might be drier.

EGGS:

  • The egg serves as a binder so that that meatball will not get crumble. We have to use one big egg for one pound of meat.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Almond flour is a low-carb substitute for breadcrumbs. It keeps the meatballs wet and keto-friendly while aiding in binding.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Parmesan cheese aids with binding and adds flavor. For optimal texture, use finely grated Parmesan rather than shredded.

WORCESTIRE SAUCE:

  • Worcestershire sauce adds a rich, complex umami flavor. We have to properly check the label of the sauce to keep the meatballs keto-friendly.

GARLIC AND ONION POWDER:

  • Garlic and Onion Powder add taste to the meat mixture without adding unnecessary carbohydrates from fresh garlic or onions.

XANTHAN GUM:

  • It is a keto and low in carb gravy thickener. A small amount is sufficient; too much can result in a sticky texture.

BEEF BROTH:

  • Beef Broth is used to keep the dish’s salt content under control; use low-sodium broth. Another excellent nutrient-rich choice is bone broth.

ONIONS & MUSHROOMS:

  • Onions and mushrooms are essential to the flavor of Salisbury steak. They provide a thick gravy base when sautéed until golden.

BUTTER:

  • Butter is used to sauté the beef, and it also adds flavor to the dish. We would also utilize the ghee or oil as a replacement of butter to prepare the dairy-free dish.
