Description
Juicy hamburger steaks are simmered in a creamy dill sauce, creating a hearty, comforting dish with a fresh, herbaceous twist. Perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried dill)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt butter, then stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in the heavy cream, dill, and lemon juice. Simmer for another 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and simmer for 3–4 more minutes.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles, topped with creamy dill sauce.
Notes
Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
Dried dill can be substituted for fresh—use less of it.
A splash of white wine can deepen the flavor of the sauce.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently with extra cream or broth if needed.
