Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/4 cup (25g) plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the patties: In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Set them on a plate.
  2. Sear the patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
  3. Start the sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Make the roux: Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and butter. Whisk constantly for 1 minute.
  5. Add the liquids: Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking continuously. Then add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Finish the sauce: Stir in the fresh dill. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Combine and simmer: Return the seared patties to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the tops. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 8-10 minutes.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat. Plate the patties and generously spoon the creamy dill sauce over the top. Garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.

Notes

Don’t skip the sear for maximum flavor. Use fresh dill for the best taste. Keep heat medium-low when adding cream to prevent curdling. Let patties rest after simmering for juicier results.
