Ingredients

Scale

For the Hamburger Steaks

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup bread crumbs (gluten-free if needed)
1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Creamy Dill Sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup plant-based milk
1 tsp natural gelling agent
1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Shape the mixture into evenly sized oval patties for consistent cooking.
Cook the Hamburger Steaks: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan for the sauce base.
Make the Creamy Dill Sauce: In the same skillet, add additional olive oil if needed and sauté the finely chopped onions and garlic until translucent. Pour in vegetable broth and plant-based milk, stirring to combine with the pan drippings. Whisk in the natural gelling agent and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Cook the sauce until it thickens, then stir in fresh chopped dill and lemon juice for brightness.
Combine and Simmer: Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet and spoon the creamy dill sauce over them. Allow the patties to simmer gently in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors before serving.

Notes

Don’t overmix the meat to keep the patties tender.
Use fresh dill for the best flavor and brightness in the sauce.
Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent to achieve your preferred sauce thickness.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding patties to get an even brown sear without sticking.
Let the patties rest briefly after cooking to retain juiciness.
