- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Creamy Dill Sauce
- 1/2 cup plant-based cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
- Salt, to taste

Garnishes (optional)

Suggested Sides

Instructions
- Prepare the Hamburger Steaks: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onions, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then shape the mixture into evenly sized thick patties to ensure they remain juicy when cooked.
- Cook the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the hamburger steaks and brown them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a flavorful crust forms. Once browned, transfer the steaks to a plate and keep warm.
- Make the Creamy Dill Sauce: Using the same skillet, pour in the vegetable broth to deglaze the pan, scraping any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Stir in plant-based cream, fresh dill, apple cider vinegar, and a small pinch of natural gelling agent. Simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce becomes luscious and smooth.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the browned hamburger steaks to the skillet and spoon the creamy dill sauce over them. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the steaks to absorb the sauce flavors and become tender.
Notes
- Shape hamburger steaks to equal thickness for even cooking.
- Cook steaks in batches if your pan is small to avoid overcrowding and ensure a good sear.
- Use fresh dill to maximize the herbal freshness in the sauce.
- Simmer the sauce gently to prevent curdling of the plant-based cream.
- Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier results.
