Ingredients

Hamburger Patties

  • 1.3 pounds ground beef
  • 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 1 large onion, finely diced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Cream Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hamburger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine 1.3 pounds of ground beef, 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs, 1 finely diced or grated large onion, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 large egg, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid tough patties.
  2. Shape the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball, then flatten to about 1/2 inch thickness. Set the patties aside on a plate.
  3. Cook the Hamburger Steaks: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer the cooked patties to a clean plate and set aside.
  4. Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 small finely diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 clove minced garlic and cook for 20 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Thicken the Sauce: Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and whisk continuously until the flour lumps disappear. Reduce heat to medium-low and gradually add 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock, whisking constantly. Then add 1 cup heavy cream, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add Fresh Dill and Simmer: Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill. Nestle the hamburger steaks back into the sauce and let everything simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes for flavors to meld and the sauce to coat the meat well.
  7. Finish and Serve: Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon fresh dill. Serve the creamy hamburger steaks hot and enjoy your comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground black pepper for best flavor.
  • To keep patties tender, avoid over-mixing the meat mixture.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
