A hydraulic steering unit (1) is described, said hydraulic steering unit (1) comprising a supply port arrangement having a pressure port (P) connected to a main flow path (3) and a tank port (T) connected to a tank flow path (4), a working port arrangement having a left working port (L) connected to a left working flow path (5) and a right working port (R) connected to a right working flow path (6), a bridge arrangement (14) of variable orifices having a first left orifice (A2L) connected to the main flow path (3) and to the left working flow path (5), a first right orifice (A2R) connected to the main flow path (3) and to the right working flow path (6), a second left orifice (A3L) connected to the left working flow path (5) and to the tank flow path (4), and a second right orifice (A3R) connected to the right working flow path (6) and to the tank flow path (4). Such a hydraulic steering unit should be operated together with a pressure source of fixed displacements. To this end an idle flow path (15) branches off the main flow path (3), wherein a variable idle orifice (An) is arranged in the idle flow path (15), the idle orifice (An) being open in neutral position and closing out of neutral position.
