Can I swap ground beef for turkey or chicken?

You absolutely can, friend! Ground turkey makes a lighter version, though you might want to add an extra teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for depth. Just be gentle forming the patties - leaner meats can get dry if overcooked. For chicken, I mix in 1 tablespoon olive oil to keep it juicy.

How long do leftovers keep in the fridge?

These steaks reheat beautifully! Store them with gravy in an airtight container for 3-4 days. My trick? Reheat gently in gravy on low heat to prevent drying out. The flavors actually deepen overnight - if leftovers survive that long in your house!

Can I make this gluten-free?

Easy peasy! Swap regular breadcrumbs for gluten-free panko or crushed gluten-free crackers. For the gravy, use cornstarch (like in our recipe) or arrowroot powder instead of flour. I've served this to gluten-free friends who swear it tastes identical to the classic.

What can I use instead of mushrooms?

Not a mushroom fan? No problem! Try diced bell peppers or zucchini for texture. For ultra-traditionalists, leave them out entirely and amp up caramelized onions - still divine. Though between us? The mushrooms really make that gravy special!
