Ingredients

Ingredients for Hamburger Steaks in Creamy Dill Sauce
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Making the Hamburger Steaks

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly. Form into 4 equal-sized patties. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Preparing the Creamy Dill Sauce

In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add heavy cream, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh dill. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors together.
