Prior to making this Keto Salisbury Steak recipe, the only way I enjoyed Salisbury steak was from a Hungry Man Box, and I’m sure many of you can relate.
It was my favorite meal next to their fried chicken, and it never disappointed. I thought, why not give it a try at home using keto friendly alternatives. I did not expect it to taste this good and be so easy to make. I would have been making this recipe much earlier had I known it only takes one skillet to make.
Delicious, Low-Carb Beef Recipes
One of our favorite ingredients to buy is 80/20 ground beef. Not only does it have great fat to protein ratio, but it tastes delicious and can easily be transformed into a dinner everyone will love.
Some of our favorite ground beef recipes include our keto chili and keto lasagna! Hamburgers are always a quick go-to lunch or dinner and you can top them with fried eggs and cheese! This recipe can definitely become a staple in your household and we can say, with confidence, that everyone in your family will love it.
You Get an Easy Brown Gravy Recipe Too!
If you omit the ground patties in this recipe, you are left with an easy brown gravy recipe. It’s rich in flavor and the perfect thickness to top your mashed cauliflower or keto fried chicken!
The base is a simple beef broth that takes on the flavors of onion and mushroom. You finish it off with a little xanthan gum to thicken it. However, you can always reduce it longer and leave out the xanthan gum if you don’t have any on hand. We also have another simple, gravy recipe on our food blog if you are looking for a different flavor profile!
We love using mushrooms in our cooking because they are flavorful and very low in carbs.
Keto Salisbury Steak
There may be some of you confused by the term steak, considering I have been talking about ground beef. Well, don’t feel foolish because it wasn’t until a couple years ago that I found out the steak wasn’t really steak.
Regardless of whether or not you find the name to be fitting, this recipe should definitely be on your “gotta make this” list. If you’re not a fan, that’s okay, because this keto Salisbury steak recipe is bound to win over the heart of someone in your family.

I got your top 10 recipe book but you dont say how much is a serving is in any of the recipes.
Olivia Kendrick says
The recipe should say how many servings it makes. Just divide the recipe by that many servings. The nutrition info is for one serving.
Erin says
I made these tonight and they all fell apart. Not sure what we did wrong…
Tara says
I made this last night for dinner and followed the recipe exactly and I just wanted you to know that we all thought it was delicious!! I always have liked the flavor of Salisbury Steak you’d get in a tv dinner, but never cared for the texture or quality of the meat itself. But this was out of this world good and I’ll definitely be making it again. Thank you!
Nikki says
So stinkin amazing. In fact, I made it twice this week for dinner and doubled the recipe tonight! Thanks so much!
Amanda says
What do the pork rinds do for the recipe? I would rather not use them.
Cass (KetoConnect) says
Acts as a breadcrumb, or a binder. You may be able to omit.
Kathy says
Do you measure 1/2 c. pork rinds then grind them, OR do you grind pork rinds then measure 1/2 c. of the ground ones?
Megha Barot says
Measure and then grind!
Caitlin says
Hey guys! I Love your videos and recipies. I’m kosher and I was wondering if there is any good substitute for the pork rinds?
Cass (KetoConnect) says
You can just leave them out!
Jennifer says
This is spool yummy! My 12 yr old boys loved it and it was very easy too!!
Bonnie says
Husband loved this. Another winner from your recipes. Thank you!
Melissa says
Made this tonight and loved it!! And my husband loved it as well! He’s been joining me on my keto avengers starting at the beginning of this month. I really enjoyed your recipes and all your posts. Please keep it up I’m learning so much from you guys
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
yay for the husband joining the keto crew!!! CONGRATS YOU TWO
Shan says
I’m so glad you posted this recipe! I’m restarting keto in a few days and just made a non-keto-friendly version last night. It was very good and I wondered if I’d find a good keto version somewhere. KC is my go-to for keto recipes, and coming to the site and finding this on the front page made me laugh. I can’t wait to try this. Thanks, guys!
Teri says
Made this tonight, it was awesome!! The gravy really makes it! I didn’t have xanthan gum so I had to use cornstarch. I mixed with some water first then whisked it in. I will be making this again!
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
the gravy TOTALLY MAKES IT! SO GLAD You didn’t skimp on it!
Barbara R. says
What do you think I can substitute for the pork rinds? I usually use almond flour and/or coconut flour and parmesan cheese in things like meat balls and meatloaf, but I can never get them tender like the bread crumb-loaded version. Salisbury steak is also usually tender; do the pork rinds help that texture? I can never get them to grind down completely. Sorry for the long post 🙂 Thanks for your recipes; I make the coconut flour chocolate chip cookies all the time!
Matt Gaedke says
I think a good option would be hemp seeds! We use that in our meat balls.
Lynn says
I use shredded zucchini in my meatloaf and meatballs. Makes them tender and juicy.
Mrs.Filip says
Can you use arrowroot instead of the gum?
Pascal says
Loved it. Big hit around the table. I will certainly make it again.Thank you
Isha says
I made this today, it was amazing!! I halved everything because i didnt want 4 “steaks” and it was really really good. Even though i used chicken broth instead of beef because thats all i had. Now I’m wishing i made a whole pounds worth!
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
OH1 SO glad you liked it, and we’ll have to try it with the chicken next!
Clara says
Is there any substitute for xanthun gum?
Megha Barot says
You can use guar gum as well or just allow it to reduce longer until you achieve your desired consistency.
Meej says
Hi, I was wondering if we could substitute the pork rinds for anything else, I have dietary restrictions to pork products. ?
Matt Gaedke says
Try hemp seeds
Manon says
How do you add the xanthan gum? Doesn’t it get clumpy if you add it dry. Was thinking I need to mix it up with water.
Thanks
Megha Barot says
No, you can just add it into the gravy and whisk!
Melinda says
I have never had a clumping issue. I will take a pinch and sprinkle it evenly,then mix . I often add a couple more pinches to my sauces but waiting a minute or two between
Lisa says
I found that you can mix the xanthan gum in a small amount (1/2 tsp oil to 1/4 tsp xanthan gum) of oil or melted butter and it dissolves easily. Then add to your dish.
Cathy says
Hope you post a video of this. Also one of my childhood favorites
Megha Barot says
We don’t plan to do a recipe video for this recipe!
