Keto Chopped Steak with Mushroom Gravy is a very old recipe with an unusual and often tainted history. We grew up eating the dish, although the name has been changed in recent years. We called it Salisbury Steak! It became a staple in school cafeterias and emerged as a classic in “TV Dinners.” But, do not let that thought spoil your appetite. Our Keto version of chopped steak is delicious.
Dr. James Salisbury is credited with introducing it to this country as part of a meat-centered low-carb diet. This was unique in the late 19th century. As a result, Dr. Salisbury was clearly the “Dr. Atkins” of his time! On the other hand, minced meat, hamburger, and meat loaf mixes have a long history from many years prior to Dr. Salisbury. Today, most refer to his creation as “Chopped Steak.”
Joanie loves making low-carb recipes that fit the label “comfort food.” This one certainly captures the essence of comfort! She also loves making casseroles and oven roasted meats. Without question, her Holiday oven roasted turkey dinners are simply “the best.” This Keto Chopped Steak with Mushroom Gravy creation may start on the stove-top for searing, but it gains a distinct flavor in her oven. We both love the dish – it brings back a lot of memories.
Ingredients
Ground beef is the main component of “chopped steak.” We use an 80-20 blend and Joanie shapes the meat into an oval that has the thickness and shape of a steak. Unlike our Tasty Low Carb meatloaf that is cut from a loaf, or a hamburg which is round and flat, the chopped steak looks like a mini filet mignon. It is pan seared on the outside, baked to perfection, and then covered with delicious mushroom-onion gravy before serving. A key taste ingredient is the Worcestershire sauce in the mix.
The gravy is made with organic beef stock that has been flavored with onions and cooked mushrooms. Most importantly, to thicken the gravy, Joanie uses Xanthan Gum and almond flour. She makes a traditional roux with these two ingredients combined with organic butter. The recipe preparation is very simple, yet it is Keto and delicious!
Preparation Tips
Above all, the preparation for Keto Chopped Steak with Mushroom Gravy is fool-proof. On the other hand, it is important to follow the recipe closely to sear in the flavor. Use an oven-safe stainless-steel skillet for preparation. Use cast iron, if you prefer. Above all, a hot pan coated with olive oil is essential to form a crust on the chopped steak. Flip the chopped steak patty once in the skillet and then baked in the oven for 20 minutes. Cover the pan in the oven to finish cooking.
Use an oven mitt to remove the skillet and finish the dish. The skillet will be hot as it goes directly from the oven to the stove top. Transfer the chopped steaks to a foil-covered plate while you make the gravy. Then, make the roux directly in the pan after removing the steak. Next, half the beef stock should be heated. It will thicken in the roux as it cooks. To infuse the onion and mushroom flavor, cook these vegetables next. Stir in the remaining stock last. The gravy will thicken once it is removed from the heat. Serve the chopped steak on a plate with your favorite cooked vegetable (broccoli). Cover the meat with the mushroom and onion gravy.

Mushroom Gravy

Chef’s Notes
