Ingredients

Scale

Hamburger Steaks

  • 1.3 pounds ground beef
  • 4 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 yellow onion, grated
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 egg

Creamy Dill Sauce

 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix the steak mixture.
    Place the grated onion in a large mixing bowl. Add the ground beef, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, heavy cream, and egg. Use your hands to combine everything just until it comes together. Stop as soon as the mixture is uniform so the patties stay tender.
  2. Shape the patties.
    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a patty about ¾ inch / 2 cm thick using your palm or the back of a spatula. Set the patties aside on a plate.
  3. Prep the sauce ingredients.
    Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the dill so everything is ready before you start cooking.
  4. Sear the patties.
    Heat the olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they develop a deep golden crust. Transfer the cooked patties to a clean plate.
  5. Cook the aromatics.
    Reduce the heat to low. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fragrant.
  6. Thicken the base.
    Add the salt, black pepper, and flour. Stir well so the flour coats the onions and garlic evenly.
  7. Deglaze the pan.
    Pour in the chicken broth and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up all the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes.
  8. Finish the sauce.
    Add the heavy cream and chopped dill. Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.
  9. Return the patties.
    Put the hamburger steaks back into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over them and let them simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the centers are no longer raw and the patties are fully heated through.
  10. Serve.
    Finish with extra chopped dill and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Grating the onion helps it blend into the meat more smoothly.
  • A burger press can help shape even patties.
  • A cast iron braiser works especially well for searing and finishing the sauce.
