Ingredients
Scale
For the Hamburger Steaks
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Creamy Dill Sauce
- 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 3/4 cup plant-based cream
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Hamburger Steaks: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to evenly incorporate all ingredients without compressing the meat too much. Shape the mixture into evenly sized, thick patties to ensure they stay juicy while cooking.
- Cook the Hamburger Steaks: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of plant-based butter. Once melted and hot, place the patties in the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the exterior is browned and the inside is fully cooked. Transfer the patties to a plate and let them rest gently while you prepare the sauce.
- Make the Creamy Dill Sauce: Using the same skillet, add more plant-based butter and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Stir in vegetable broth, plant-based cream, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), fresh dill, and apple cider vinegar (natural). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Gradually add the natural gelling agent while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to a smooth and velvety consistency.
- Combine and Finish: Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet and spoon the creamy dill sauce over them. Allow everything to heat together for a few minutes so the flavors meld and the steaks remain tender and juicy. Serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meat to keep patties tender.
- Fresh dill provides a brighter flavor than dried dill.
- Rest the steaks after cooking to retain juiciness.
- Add the natural gelling agent slowly to avoid clumping in the sauce.
- Deglaze the pan with vegetable broth to incorporate browned bits for enhanced flavor.
