Keto Salisbury Steak with Onion gravy

This content originally appeared on Sugar-Free Mom. Republished with permission.

Salisbury steak is an easy ground beef patty, similar to hamburger steak, but closer to a meatloaf, in that it usually includes bread crumbs, onions, and eggs. It is always served with brown gravy and topped over mashed potatoes. To make a low-carb Salisbury steak, we just need to swap out the filling ingredients for the patty as well as the gravy to make it keto-friendly.

This is served over a fantastic, creamy mashed cauliflower that my whole family, even the kids, love! The creamiest mashed cauliflower recipe can be found in my cookbook, Naturally Keto is the sides section.

What Is Glucomannan Powder?

You’ll notice for my gravy I opted to use glucomannan powder. If it’s an unfamiliar ingredient to you, let me explain why it’s such a great option for a warm, thick keto gravy. Glucomannan is a natural, water soluble, dietary fiber made from the root of the konjac plant. This fiber is the same ingredient used to make Miracle noodles or Shiritayaki noodles. It’s been used for a very long time in Japanese cooking as a thickener.

Before I discovered it, I was using xanthan gum as a thickener for my gravy, but it gets somewhat goopy and a bit to gel-like. Once I made the switch to glucomannan for gravy, I will never go back! It’s definitely a must in my keto kitchen!
