Ingredients
Scale
For the Hamburger Steaks
- 1 lb ground beef (moderate fat content)
- 2 slices smoked turkey bacon, diced
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Creamy Dill Sauce
- 1/2 cup plant-based cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil (if needed)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, diced smoked turkey bacon, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to maintain tenderness.
- Shape and Sear the Steaks: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into oval hamburger steaks. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Make the Creamy Dill Sauce: Using the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add a splash of olive oil if needed and sauté additional onion and garlic until soft. Stir in plant-based cream, apple cider vinegar, fresh chopped dill, and natural gelling agent. Allow the sauce to simmer gently while stirring until it thickens.
- Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the seared hamburger steaks to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon sauce over each steak, cover, and cook for a few more minutes so flavors meld and steaks cook through.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meat to keep steaks tender and juicy.
- Use fresh dill for optimal flavor and vibrancy.
- Sear steaks at high heat to create a crust that seals in juices.
- Simmer sauce gently to avoid curdling.
- Let steaks rest a couple of minutes after cooking to redistribute juices.
