    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I clean and season my cast iron skillet?

    I love to cook with cast iron. It evenly heats and is easy to clean. I like to use this U-picks Cast Iron Skillet Cleaner Chainmail Scrubber that I got from Amazon. I rinse the pan with hot water to remove any loose food and leftover oil. Then I use the chainmail scrubber to lift up any bits of food left.
     
    I place the pan on the stove top at medium heat and let it dry completely. Then I pour a tablespoon of oil on the pan and rub it onto the entire inside of the pan with a paper towel. Remove the skillet from heat and it's ready for your next meal.

    Remember to never put your cast iron skillet into the dishwasher.

    What type of pasta should I use for this casserole?

    I'm a big fan of gluten free brown rice pasta. I like how well it holds up to being baked and doesn't get soggy. I also think brown rice pasta has a nice texture and is the closest thing I've found to regular wheat pasta.
     
    Some of my favorite brown rice pasta brands are: Jovial, Tinkyada, Trader Joe's

    Top Tips

    I love to use my cast iron skillet to make this recipe a one pan meal, but you could also use a frying pan and then a 9x13 baking dish to make this recipe. Another option would be to use a 6-7 quart dutch oven.

    To reheat your casserole put a serving on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. In your microwave heat for 30 second intervals until it's hot.

    Ingredients

    • Ground Beef
    • Egg
    • Yellow Onion
    • Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
    • Minced Garlic
    • Spicy Brown Mustard
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Sea Salt
    • Dried Basil
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Olive Oil
    • Unsalted Butter
    • Heavy Whipping Cream
    • Beef Broth
    • Mushrooms
    • Gluten Free Flour
    • Dried Oregano

    Instructions

    In a large mixing bowl mix together the ground beef, egg, grated yellow onion, gluten free bread crumbs, minced garlic, spicy brown mustard, worcestershire sauce, sea salt, dried basil and ground pepper. I use my hands, but you can use a large spoon also.

    Place your 12-inch frying pan over medium high heat and add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

    Press the beef mixture into six even patties and place them in the frying pan. Fry them until one side is browned and then flip to finish cooking. The patties should be at least 160 degrees in the center to be completely cooked. Once the patties are cooked remove them from the frying pan to a platter.

    Add the unsalted butter to the frying pan on medium high heat and let melt. Add the yellow onion, mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook down the mixture until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms are cooked.

    Sprinkle the gluten free flour over the onion mixture and let that soak up the liquid. Add the heavy cream, beef broth, sea salt, black pepper and dried oregano to the pan. 

    Bring this mixture to a simmer and stir for 5-7 minutes until the gravy is thickened.

    Add the salisbury steaks back to the pan and let them heat back up for 2-3 minutes. 

    Serve this over mashed potatoes or with steamed mixed vegetables.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What side dish goes well with this recipe?

    Steamed vegetables are a great side dish with this recipe. My seven layer salad or easy pea salad would also be really great options for a side dishes.

    I like to serve this gluten free salisbury steak with mashed potatoes that I can pour the mushroom gravy over top. To keep this recipe low carb I would serve it with a side salad or steamed vegetables.

    What type of pan should I use for this recipe?

    I used a ceramic nonstick pan for this recipe, but you could easily use your twelve-inch cast iron pan. I like the nonstick pan for this recipe because I cook the salisbury steaks first and then after removing them from the pan I cook the gravy.

    The nonstick pan is great for cooking the gravy of medium low heat at a simmer to get a thick gravy to pour over the salisbury steak.

    Top Tip

    I'm a big fan of gluten free ground beef recipes for simple weeknight meals. These salisbury steaks are made similar to a meatloaf by mixing the ingredients together in a bowl and then making patties to fry.

    For this mushroom gravy can be made with fresh mushrooms or I love using frozen precut mushrooms. It's easy to have the frozen mushrooms in my freezer ready to go in spaghetti, stroganoff or stir fries.
