Ingredients

Scale

For the 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

For Cooking and 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)

Instructions

  1. Prepping: Begin by grating the onion into a large bowl. Add ground beef, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, heavy cream, and egg. Mix everything together gently with your hands until just combined. Divide this mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Flatten each ball with your palm or a spatula until about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick. Set aside.
  2. Chopping: Finely dice one yellow onion, mince two garlic cloves, and chop the required amount of fresh dill for the sauce.
  3. Searing: Heat the olive oil and unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the hamburger steaks in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Once seared, transfer the steaks to a clean plate.
  4. Cooking the sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic and diced onion. Cook gently until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir well until fully incorporated.
  5. Simmering: Slowly pour in the low sodium chicken broth while scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes, then add the heavy cream and chopped dill. Bring the sauce to a boil and continue simmering for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Finishing: Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet with the sauce. Simmer together for 5 to 6 minutes until the steaks are heated through and cooked to your preferred doneness (ensure no raw center remains). Finish with additional chopped dill and freshly grated black pepper before serving.

Notes

  • Use low sodium chicken broth to control the saltiness in the sauce.
  • Be careful not to overmix the beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
  • For a richer sauce, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though results will be less creamy.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • Fresh dill adds a bright, fresh flavor; adjust the amount according to preference.
