Ingredients
Scale
For the Patties
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried onion
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
For the Sauce
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons horseradish (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup chopped chives (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons oil (for searing)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for searing)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves finely to be used later in the sauce.
- Mix the patty ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, dried onion, and Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into round patties of uniform thickness for even cooking.
- Sear the patties: Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms and they are cooked through.
- Sauté the aromatics: Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and translucent, releasing their flavors into the pan.
- Deglaze the pan: Pour in the dry white wine or broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spatula to loosen any browned bits. Allow the liquid to reduce for about 2 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
- Create the sauce: Stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half, horseradish, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Combine and simmer: Return the seared patties to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce heat to low and let everything simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
- Serve and garnish: Plate the patties and spoon the horseradish Parmesan sauce generously over them. Sprinkle with chopped chives for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.
Notes
- Adjust horseradish quantity to taste depending on desired level of pungency and heat.
- Using broth instead of white wine is a suitable option for a non-alcoholic version.
- Half-and-half can replace heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
- The sauce thickens as it simmers; if it becomes too thick, thin with a splash of broth or cream.
- Serve this sauce over beef patties, steaks, or even roasted vegetables for versatility.
