Vegan Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

This is a veganized version of my childhood favorite - Salisbury steak!!! It's tender, perfectly seasoned and topped with a creamy mushroom gravy that will lead to seconds for both vegan and meat eating foodies. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Ingredients
Lentil Salisbury Steak
2 C. Cooked Lentils
1 C. Vital wheat gluten
1 C. Bread crumbs, vegan
1/2 C. Water
3 tsp Better Than Bouillon
1/4 C. Soy sauce
1 Tbsp. Liquid smoke
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
1 Tsp. Olive oil

Mushroom Gravy
2 tsp. Olive oil
8 oz. Mushrooms, sliced
3 Cloves Garlic, chopped
3 Tbsp. Vegan butter
3 Tbsp. All purpose flour
2 C. Water
4 tsp Better Than Bouillon
1/2 tsp. Sage, dried
1/2 tsp. Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
Nature's Seasoning to taste

Instructions
Make the Salisbury steak first. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the cooked lentils. Using either a potato masher or fork. Mash the lentils until they are almost all mashed, leaving a bit of texture.
Now add all the remaining Salisbury steak ingredients to the bowl except the olive oil, that is for cooking them. Start to stir to mix the wet and dry together, then using your hands, continue to mix until fully combined. Then knead together the mixture, knead for a few minutes until it forms a nice dough ball that isn't sticky any more. (The longer you knead them, the firmer they will be)
Now taking large balls of dough, roll then flatten to look like steak. Repeat until you have formed all the dough into "steaks".
If you want a firmer steak, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the steaks on a sheet pan sprayed with non-stick spray and bake them for about 20-30 minutes or until the steaks are firm.
If you want a more tender steak, heat the olive in a cast iron skillet or non stick pan on medium high. Then add the steaks to the pan, as many as you can fit. You can do it in batches. Cook the lentil steaks on each side for 2-3 minutes until brown and cooked through.
If you baked the steaks first, just add them the pan with olive oil to brown on each side for a minute. Just to form a nice crust.
Remove the steaks from the pan, and set aside while you make the gravy.
Now make the gravy, heat the olive oil in the same pan on medium high, add the mushrooms and garlic. Saute for a few minutes sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Saute until soft and a bit brown. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
Reduce heat to low. Now add the vegan butter and flour. Whisk together and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. It should be a bit thick and paste like.
Now add the veggie broth, whisk to combine. Simmer until it has thickened 2-4 minutes. Now add the mushrooms back to the pan, and the spices. Stir. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Now either add the steaks back to the pan and cook with the gravy for a minute, then serve. Or put the steaks on a serving dish, and cover with gravy! Serve with veggies and carbs!

This looks delicious. I love mushrooms and back in the day ..love this kinda steak . Oddly I’ve never had lentils but I’m becoming a fan of beans . I’ve been trying to eat more whole food plant based ..trying to be less of a junk food vegan lol ( On my 4th year total) 🤓I already feel the difference when I eat something processed.

Can't wait to try this recipe. Only one question, how much liquid did you add to your dry mixture? Thanks Yvette from🇨🇦
