Hamburger Steaks Dill Cream Sauce (Print)

Juicy beef patties with creamy dill sauce make a perfect hearty dinner in just 30 minutes.

# Ingredients:

→ Hamburger Steaks

01 - 600 g ground beef
02 - 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
03 - 1 yellow onion, grated
04 - 1 teaspoon fine salt
05 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
06 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream
07 - 1 large egg

→ Creamy Dill Sauce

08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
09 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 - 1 yellow onion, diced
11 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
12 - 1 teaspoon fine salt
13 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
14 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
15 - 120 ml low sodium chicken broth
16 - 240 ml heavy cream
17 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, grate the onion directly into the bowl. Add ground beef, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, heavy cream, and egg. Mix gently with clean hands just until integrated.
02 - Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a ball. Flatten each with your palm or a spatula to approximately 2 cm thick. Set aside on a plate.
03 - Finely dice the second onion, mince the garlic, and chop fresh dill. Reserve for sauce preparation.
04 - Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sear hamburger steaks 4–5 minutes per side until deeply golden brown. Transfer patties to a clean plate and set aside.
05 - Reduce heat to low. In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook gently for about 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
06 - Stir salt, pepper, and flour into the aromatics. Mix continuously until flour is fully absorbed and no dry spots remain.
07 - Pour in chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 2 minutes to blend flavors.
08 - Add heavy cream and chopped dill. Increase heat and bring to a boil, then lower to a gentle simmer for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
09 - Return hamburger steaks to skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer 5–6 minutes until patties are heated through and fully cooked in the center.
10 - Garnish with extra chopped dill and freshly ground black pepper before serving. Accompany with mashed potatoes if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Form the patties gently to retain tenderness in the final dish.
02 - For even cooking, flatten the patties uniformly to 2 cm thickness.
03 - Allow the steaks to rest briefly after browning to retain juiciness.
