INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

GROUND BEEF:

  • Ground beef will provide protein, richness, and a juicy texture to the hamburger steaks. We recommend 80–85% lean ground beef. As a substitute, you can use ground turkey.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We utilize finely ground almond flour instead of traditional breadcrumbs to keep the hamburger steaks low in carbohydrates.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Parmesan will add savory flavor and help provide structure to the hamburger steaks. As an alternative, you can use Romano cheese.

ONION:

  • The gravy and hamburger steaks will both benefit from the traditional savory flavor of onions. Use a smaller amount if you want to reduce the carbohydrate content further.

WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:

  • The steak and gravy will taste rich and delicious thanks to the Worcestershire sauce. Choose a low-carb variety without added sugar.

MUSHROOMS:

  • Mushrooms will add texture and an earthy flavor to the gravy while keeping the recipe relatively low in carbohydrates. As an alternative, you can use zucchini or spinach.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • Heavy cream will create a rich and creamy gravy. As a substitute, you can use unsweetened coconut cream.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • Cream cheese will thicken the gravy and give it a rich, creamy texture. As an alternative, you can use mascarpone.

XANTHAN GUM:

  • Xanthan gum will thicken the gravy without using flour or cornstarch. It is optional and should be added in a very small amount.

  4. Bring it out and put aside.

  6. Cook the garlic for about thirty seconds.
  7. Fill in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth.

TIPS:

  • Avoid mixing the ground beef too much, as it will make the steaks tough.
