Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, saltine crackers and milk. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and mix until well blended. Line a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan with waxed paper. Press the beef mixture firmly into the pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 8 to 10 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from meat, and rub flour over the top side of the beef. Flip out of the pan onto waxed paper, and rub flour on the other side as well. Cut into pieces (I use a pizza cutter).
- Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the meat until browned on each side, turning only once. Remove to a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix together the water, condensed soup, and gravy mix. Pour over the meat in the dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Serve patties and gravy with potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Steps:
- For Broth:
- Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil and let simmer 15 minutes prior to adding steaks.
- For Steaks:
- In a blender, combine first six ingredients. Process approximately 1 - 2 minutes - until smooth. Pour into mixing bowl. Using the dough hook, add gluten flour and process 3 - 4 minutes until smooth and forms into a rubbery ball. Remove dough and divide into two parts. Shape each part into a log shape approximately two inches around. Slice each log into 1/4 inch slices. Drop steak slices into boiling broth. When all steak slices are in the broth, turn heat down to a slow simmer and cook approximately 1 - 2 hours. Steak pieces will almost double in size and become lighter in color. Remove from broth and use in any recipe asking for gluten steaks or grind steaks and use in place of burger. Enjoy!
- Brenda Walsh, one of the sisters, says she likes to use this recipe for so many things, such as placing the steaks on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and baking for 30 minutes. This changes the texture to a slightly more "chewy" consistency. Then placing them in a baking dish and pouring mushroom soup over them and baking for 1 hour. Delicious and easy! She also likes to make "steak" sandwiches with them. Try frying these with onions, placing them in a baking dish, pouring canned tomatoes over them and baking for one hour.
Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are the most popular choice for fake steaks, as they have a meaty texture and can hold up well to grilling or pan-frying. However, you can also use other mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
- Marinate the mushrooms. Marinating the mushrooms in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids will help to add flavor and moisture. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and balsamic vinegar marinade, or a more complex marinade made with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
- Cook the mushrooms properly. Fake steaks can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, pan-frying, or baking. Be sure to cook the mushrooms until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Serve the fake steaks with your favorite sides. Fake steaks can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Fake steaks are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional meat steaks. They are made with simple ingredients that are easy to find, and they can be cooked in a variety of ways. With a little creativity, you can create fake steaks that are just as flavorful and satisfying as the real thing.
