Great Sides to Go with Instant Pot Salisbury Steaks

Asparagus doesn’t fair well when cooked in the Instant Pot. It always seems to over cook since as the pot comes to pressure it is also cooking your food. I generally steam it gently on the stove top with an inch of water underneath a steamer basket for 2 to 3 minutes. Another option is to saute your asparagus in a skillet with butter. Another great side with this meal are the Green Fries, page 218 in the THM Cookbook – Eat up, Slim Down.
Pairing Instant Pot Salisbury Steaks with Fauxtatoes
We like a like and fluffy mashed cauliflower with the Instant Pot Salisbury Steaks. I love the recipe found at Oh Sweet Mercy – Amazingly Fluffy, Creamy Mashed Fauxatoes. This recipe sold my family on cauliflower mash instead of white mashed potatoes!

- If you are a DTS (Drive Thru Sue) you can substitute a 4 ounce can of mushroom stems and pieces, drained for the fresh mushrooms. Add them after the meat has been pressured cooked. The canned mushrooms can be added with the onion when doing the stove top instructions.
- If you don't have ghee you can used refined coconut oil which has no coconut taste.
Oh my Lanta! I think the family will love this and can hardly wait to try it!
What could be used instead of pork rinds. I find them slimey and I don’t like the taste of them. Thanks!
Hi Shannon – you could sub 1/4 cup of lightly ground (chopped) old fashioned oats and still stay within an S.
Thank you!
