Ingredients
Scale
For the Hamburger Steaks
- 500g fresh ground beef
- 100g smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Creamy Dill Sauce
- 200ml plant-based cream (natural)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Chopped smoked turkey bacon (reserved from above)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: Combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently until just combined to maintain tenderness. Shape into evenly sized oval patties for uniform cooking.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon, reserving the rendered fat for cooking the patties to add extra flavor.
- Brown the Hamburger Steaks: In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed, and cook the patties for about 4 minutes per side until they develop a caramelized crust and are cooked through. Remove patties and keep warm.
- Make the Creamy Dill Sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low. In the skillet, add plant-based cream (natural), fresh chopped dill, apple cider vinegar, mustard (natural), and natural gelling agent. Stir and simmer gently until the sauce thickens to a silky consistency. Stir in the chopped smoked turkey bacon for texture and flavor.
- Combine and Serve: Return the patties to the skillet, spoon the creamy dill sauce over them, and heat through for a couple of minutes to blend the flavors. Serve hot and enjoy a comforting and rich meal.
Notes
- Use fresh, quality ground beef for juicy tender patties.
- Mix patty ingredients just until combined to keep texture tender.
- Simmer the dill sauce on gentle heat to preserve flavors.
- Chop smoked turkey bacon finely to avoid overpowering bites.
- Let patties rest 3-5 minutes after cooking to seal in juices.
