Easy and delicious, gluten-free Salisbury steak is the ultimate comfort food! The tender and flavorful beef patties are smothered in a savory mushroom sauce that will keep everyone coming back for more.
Ground beef is a favorite in our house. It’s delicious, affordable, and versatile and I love using it in recipes like sweet potato and ground beef and gluten-free meatballs.
But out of all the recipes I make with ground beef, this is one of my family’s favorites. There aren’t many foods that make my husband look forward to dinner as much as Salisbury steak does!
I also love how quick and easy it is to put together. I’m often in a little bit of a rush to get dinner on the table, and this recipe makes it a breeze! I’ll often serve it with a quick side like my fried apples recipe or balsamic asparagus to round out the meal perfectly.

Prep in Advance
Gluten-free Salisbury steak is a wonderful dinner to prepare in advance! If you want to make it far in advance, you can freeze it for up to 2-3 months.
If you simply want to prep this a few hours or days in advance, form the patties and chop the mushrooms and onions. Store both separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days before making gluten-free Salisbury steak.
How to Serve Gluten-Free Salisbury Steak
Salisbury steak is delicious with any hearty vegetable side such as roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash or cheesy balsamic asparagus. Mashed potatoes or cauliflower rice are also great options since they can soak up some of the delicious mushroom sauce.
How to Store Leftovers
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. For best results, reheat in the oven.
Can I Freeze Gluten-Free Salisbury Steak?
Yes! This makes a wonderful freezer meal.
You can freeze gluten-free Salisbury steak in an airtight container for up 2-3 months. When you’re ready to eat it, let thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the oven.

Ingredients
Ground beef – The base for Salisbury steak.
Onions – A key contributor to the delicious flavor!
Oat flour – You can substitute coconut flour instead.
Coconut aminos – Adds a wonderful umami flavor. If you prefer, you can substitute Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or amino acids.
Tomato paste – You can substitute ketchup.
Salt – Sea salt or Himalayan
Spices – Choose quality spices without additives or fillers.
Avocado oil – If you prefer, you can use your favorite cooking oil (such as butter or olive oil) instead. Beef fat is my go-to.
Baby portobello mushrooms – Choose firm, smooth mushrooms with a pleasant, earthy smell.
Beef bone broth – If you prefer you can substitute regular beef broth.
Apple cider vinegar – Adds flavor and helps tenderize the meat.
Garlic cloves – Because garlic makes everything better!
Step-By-Step Instructions
First, heat your skillet on medium to high heat. While it’s heating, peel and grate the onion using a cheese grater or chop it in a handy chopper until it almost turns to puree.
Then place the onion in a bowl and add ground beef, oat flour, coconut aminos, and tomato paste. Mix it using your hands.
Next, form the meat mixture into 12 tightly packed patties and salt and pepper both sides.
Once the skillet is hot, add a small amount of oil and sear both sides of the patties.
While the patties are searing, go ahead and chop an onion and slice the mushrooms.
When both sides of the patties are seared, remove them from the skillet. You don’t need to worry if the center isn’t done.
Then, crush the garlic and add it along with the onion and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until the onion is beginning to turn translucent. If the skillet is getting dry, you can add a little more oil.
Now add the broth, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, salt, and the spices to the sautéed vegetables and stir the mixture.
Place the patties back in the skillet, and simmer on low to medium heat until the sauce has reduced to your preferred consistency.
Enjoy your delicious Salisbury steak dinner!
