A hydraulic steering arrangement includes a steering valve, a steering motor, connected with a high-pressure connection and a low-pressure connection via the steering valve, and with a steering unit, connected via the steering valve with a pilot pressure valve, whose outlet is connected with the low-pressure connection. It is endeavoured to improve the steering behaviour. For this purpose, the pilot pressure valve is opened, before the steering valve creates a connection between the high-pressure connection and the steering motor.
