Instructions

- Shape mixture into four patties and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.
Cooking Patties
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add patties and cook 4–5 minutes per side, until golden edges and internal temperature reaches 160°F. Transfer to plate and tent with foil.
Creamy Dill Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly until bubbling.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook 3 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard; cook 2 more minutes until smooth. Add chopped dill, season with salt & pepper.
- Return patties to the sauce and simmer 2 more minutes to heat through.
Notes
Pulse onion in a food processor during testing to reduce moisture and keep patties firm.
Let patties rest so they hold shape and cook evenly.
Reheat leftovers gently on low heat with a splash of broth to restore sauce texture.
