# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, grate the onion. Add ground beef, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, heavy cream, and egg. Mix gently by hand until just combined.
02 -
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Shape each into a ball, then press each ball to about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.
03 -
Finely chop the remaining onion, mince the garlic, and chop the dill for the sauce.
04 -
Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the formed patties and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer cooked patties to a clean plate.
05 -
Reduce heat to low. In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
06 -
Add salt, black pepper, and flour to the skillet. Stir continuously until the flour is incorporated.
07 -
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits using a wooden spoon. Simmer for 2 minutes.
08 -
Add heavy cream and chopped dill to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then simmer 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
09 -
Return hamburger steaks to the skillet. Simmer in the sauce for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and cooked in the center.
10 -
Finish with extra dill and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot, ideally with mashed potatoes.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not overmix the beef mixture to maintain a tender texture.
02 -
For a richer flavor, use fresh dill and high-quality ground beef.
