Ingredients
Scale
- 1.3 pounds ground beef
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp dried onion
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 3 cups spinach
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, dried onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Divide the mixture into four portions and shape each into a ball.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the beef balls to the skillet, then use a spatula or burger press to flatten each ball to about ¾ inch thick. Sear for 5 minutes on each side until a nice brown crust forms. Once done, remove the hamburger steaks from the skillet onto a clean plate.
- In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Stir in salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and tomato paste. Slowly pour in the heavy cream followed by the spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts. Then, mix in the sun-dried tomatoes and grated Parmesan, bringing the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Once your sauce is bubbling, return the hamburger steaks to the skillet. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
- Optional: Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an extra touch of color.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of garlic.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
- This dish pairs well with pasta or crusty bread.
