Skillet Hamburger Steak with Bell Pepper Sauce Recipe
Description
The Skillet Hamburger Steak with Bell Pepper Sauce starts with shaping seasoned ground beef mixed with bread crumbs, egg, and a blend of spices including paprika, onion, garlic powder, and optionally dill and coriander seeds for added aromatic depth. The identified cooking method is pan-frying the patties over medium to high heat to develop a browned exterior and cook the meat through.
Once the patties are removed, the same skillet is used to sauté diced onions, chopped garlic, and sliced bell peppers, layering flavors for the sauce. The sauce includes tomato sauce, cream, caraway seeds, and fresh parsley to add richness, a subtle sweetness, and herbal notes. The bell peppers contribute texture and mildly sweet flavor, while the finishing cream smooths and enriches the sauce.
This meal is suitable as a comforting entrée, pairing well with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread to complement its creamy and savory profile. The recipe notes mention using ground beef with at least 20-25% fat for better flavor and options to double the meat quantity for more servings. Uncooked patties can be frozen with baking paper for convenience.

Instructions
Prepare hamburger steaks
- Place the ground beef in a mixing bowl.
- Add breadcrumbs, all the spices, and the egg.
- Combine the burger mass so that it is well mixed.
- Shape the equal-sized balls. Place them on a clean surface and gently press down to shape circle burger patties.
Prep fresh produce
- Dice onion, chop garlic, and slice bell pepper small.
- Keep all the ingredients separate at the side nearby.
To cook the dish
- Heat up a skillet with olive oil and wait for it to get hot enough. Keep over a medium to high heat setting.
- Place hamburger beef patties into the pan and keep the same heat setting.
- Cook meat on both sides until cooked through. Reduce to a medium heat setting if it's too hot.
- Take the meat from the pan and keep it aside but keep the pan hot, on a slow to medium flame.
- Stir onion into the skillet and sauté until it has softened a bit. Stir in chopped garlic too and cook and mix for a minute or two.
- Now, stir in the bell pepper slices and continue to cook it all over a medium heat setting until the bell pepper has softened.
- Season by adding paprika, caraway (or cumin), salt, and black pepper. Mix it all in.
- Stir in tomato sauce, cream, and water. (if you use half and half, skip the water)
- Mix and stir well over a slow heat setting. Wait 1-2 minutes for the sauce to form and when the consistency is right, turn off the heat.
- Place hamburgers back into the skillet between the sauce.
- Serve up hot with some fresh parsley sprinkled over that.
Notes
- Use ground beef with 20-25% fat content for juicier, more flavorful patties.
- Dill and coriander seeds are optional but add distinctive flavors if available.
- Ready-made hamburger steaks can be substituted for homemade ones if preferred.
- Uncooked patties freeze well between layers of baking paper for future use.
