Ingredients
Scale
For Hamburger Steaks
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
For Creamy Dill Sauce
- 1 cup plant-based cream
- 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Hamburger Steaks: Combine the ground beef with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined to keep the texture tender. Shape the mixture into evenly sized hamburger steaks for consistent cooking.
- Cook the Steaks: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the hamburger steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they develop a brown crust and are cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and keep them warm.
- Make the Creamy Dill Sauce: Using the same skillet, add the plant-based cream, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), fresh dill, minced garlic, and natural gelling agent. Stir constantly as the sauce thickens, then add a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spoon the creamy dill sauce over them, and let everything simmer together for a few minutes to meld the flavors beautifully.
Notes
- Use fresh dill for the best aroma and flavor.
- Do not overmix the ground beef to keep the steaks tender.
- Make hamburger steaks uniform in size for even cooking.
- Add the natural gelling agent gradually to avoid a sauce that is too thick.
- Let the steaks rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juiciness.
