Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1/4 cup almond flour (or crushed pork rinds for binding)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (or cornstarch if not strict keto)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined and shape into 6 oval patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp butter and cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Add onions and mushrooms; sauté until softened and golden, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
- Sprinkle xanthan gum over the sauce and whisk until slightly thickened.
- Return patties to the skillet. Simmer covered for 10–12 minutes until cooked through and flavors meld.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, ideally with cauliflower mash or roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- If not keto, cornstarch or arrowroot can replace xanthan gum.
- Add a splash of red wine for a richer gravy flavor.
- Great for meal prep—keeps well in the fridge up to 4 days.
