Ingredients:
For the Salisbury Steak Patties:
- 1 lb (450g) extra lean ground beef (at least 93% lean)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
- 1 1/2 lbs (680g) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons light butter or margarine
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Mushroom & Onion Gravy:
- 1 tablespoon light butter or margarine
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- To prepare the Salisbury steak patties, in a large mixing bowl, combine the extra lean ground beef, finely chopped onion, whole wheat breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized oval-shaped patties.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the Salisbury steak patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- To make the garlic mashed potatoes, place the peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the minced garlic, unsweetened almond milk, light butter or margarine, salt, and pepper to the pot with the cooked potatoes. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- For the mushroom & onion gravy, in the same skillet used to cook the Salisbury steak patties, melt the light butter or margarine over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring constantly, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the reduced-sodium beef broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked Salisbury steak patties to the skillet with the mushroom & onion gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Salisbury steak patties with the mushroom & onion gravy alongside the garlic mashed potatoes.
