Ingredients
Scale
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 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
For the 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
- Prepare the Hamburger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely diced onion, heavy cream, egg, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to keep the patties tender.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and then flatten them into 1/2 inch thick patties. Set them aside on a plate while you prepare to cook.
- Cook the Hamburger Steaks: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the hamburger steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until well browned and cooked through. Transfer the cooked patties to a clean plate and set aside.
- Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced small onion and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden and softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 20 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Flour and Liquids: Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then whisk in the all-purpose flour, cooking until lumps disappear. Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the chicken stock followed by the heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Incorporate Fresh Dill: Whisk in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill for brightness and flavor.
- Simmer Hamburgers in Sauce: Nestle the cooked hamburger steaks back into the cream sauce and allow everything to simmer together for 4 to 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Final Seasoning and Garnish: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and freshly cracked black pepper if needed. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh dill before serving. Enjoy your delicious hamburger cream steaks!
Notes
- Use freshly chopped dill for the best flavor and aroma in the cream sauce.
- Do not overmix the hamburger mixture to keep the patties tender and juicy.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the breadcrumbs and all-purpose flour with gluten-free alternatives.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.
- Allow the sauce to simmer gently to avoid curdling of the cream.
