Hamburger Steaks in Creamy Dill Sauce
This was super easy, and absolutely delicious. The hamburger steak is just a fancy hamburger without a bun. I used 90% lean hamburger and the cream made them juicy. The creamy dill sauce is simple to whip up.
I served this with homemade whipped potatoes, tender buttered peas and a homemade cheesy bun.
I would say this is easy enough for a weeknight and elegant enough to serve for a special occasion.
Hamburger Steaks
1 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
½ cup low sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp chopped dill - more for serving
Start with making the hamburger steaks. Into a large bowl, grate the onion. Add ground beef, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, cream and egg. Mix with your hands until just combined. Divide beef mixture into 4 portions, and shape each portion into a ball. Press the balls down by using the palm of your hand or a spatula until ¾ inch/2 cm thick. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic and chop the dill.
Heat oil and butter over medium in a large nonstick skillet. Add hamburger steaks and cook 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer onto a clean plate.
Add garlic and onion, reduce heat to low and cook until fragrant about 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper and flour, stir until incorporated. Pour in broth and simmer for 2 minutes while scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of your skillet with a wooden spoon.
Add cream and dill, bring to a boil and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken. Return hamburger steaks to the skillet and simmer for 5-6 minutes until heated through and no longer raw in the center. Finish off with chopped dill and freshly grated black pepper. Serve!
