  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream

  • 1 egg 

• Creamy Dill Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

Directions

1. Make patties: In a bowl, combine grated onion, ground beef, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, cream, and egg. Gently mix until just combined. Divide into 4 portions, shape into balls, then flatten to about ¾″ (2 cm) thick.

2. Sear patties: Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook aromatics: In the same skillet (reduce heat to low), sauté chopped onion and garlic ~2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper .

4. Thicken sauce: Sprinkle in flour, stirring to coat. Pour in broth and simmer ~2 minutes, scraping brown bits from the pan.

5. Finish sauce: Stir in heavy cream and chopped dill; bring to a gentle boil and simmer 1–2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

6. Rewarm patties: Return patties to the skillet; simmer 5–6 minutes until heated through and cooked to your preference.

7. Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with extra dill and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
