8) Hamburg Steaks with Mushroom & Onion Gravy
1 1/4 pounds ground beef
2 tsp Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp steak seasoning
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
1 tbsp fresh minced parsley
1 tsp coconut oil
salt and pepper
Mushroom and Onion Gravy Recipe:
1/4 cup diced onions
8 oz sliced button mushrooms
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp Better Than Bouillon (beef)
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp macadamia nut oil
Soak the almond flour in coconut milk until absorbed – about 10 minutes. Mince the parsley and finely chop the onions. In a medium bowl, add the ground beef. Break it up a bit and then sprinkle the Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, and parsley over the beef. Add the soaked almond flour. Mix with a hand mixer until the ingredients are just combined. Divide the seasoned beef into 4 patties. Season the outside with salt and coarse black pepper. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1-2 teaspoons of the coconut oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the hamburger steaks and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove the steaks from the pan and cover loosely with foil.
Turn the heat down to medium. If there is not a lot of oil left in the pan, add the 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and the mushrooms, stirring to coat all of the mushrooms. Cook for 1 minute. Stir and push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan. Spread the onions in the center of the pan and cover for 1 minute. Add the beef bouillon and stir. Next, add the water, stirring to bring up any browned bits that may still be stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the coconut milk and any accumulated juices from the hamburger steaks. Bring to a fast simmer, reducing the sauce until it thickens. Stir in 1 tbsp of macadamia nut oil to give the sauce a nice sheen. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve the sauce over the hamburger steaks. Serves 4.
