Hi everyone. Thank you for coming back to my kitchen. Today's dish is Japanese hamburger steak. We call it Hambagu in Japanese. This is a Western dish we (Japanese) arranged in a Japanese way. Hambagu is one of the most beloved Western-style dishes in Japan. And, I grew up eating it quite often. I'll leave all the ingredients and cooking instructions below. I hope you'll enjoy this recipe. Have fun in the kitchen! 😊

Ingredients for Hamburger Steak (Portion for 2 or 3)
: Ground Beef and Pork blend (300~350 grams)
: Onion (half)
: Panko Bread Crumbs (25 grams)
: Milk (3 Tbsp)
: Egg (1large)
: Salt (1tsp)
: Black Pepper (1tsp)
: Nutmeg (1/2tsp) Optional

Ingredients for Sauce
: Red wine (3Tbsp) You can substitute it with White wine or Sake.
: Ketchup (3Tbsp)
: Worcestershire Sauce (3Tbsp)
: Butter (20 grams)

Cooking Instructions 1 ( how to make hamburger patties)
1) Chop half the onion finely.
2) Sauté the chopped onion until brown.
(3 minutes on medium-low heat, then 5 more minutes over low heat.)
3) Cool down the sautéed onion thoroughly.
4) Knead the ground meat thoroughly with salt only first. Knead until sticky.
5) Add milk to Panko and mix. Once the panko is moistened evenly, add it to the ground meat.
6) Beat the egg well. Then, add it to the ground meat.
7) Add sautéed onion ( make sure it's cold ), Black Pepper, and Nutmeg to the ground meat.
8) Mix them all together until the mixture becomes sticky again.
9) Divide in half and make 2 meatballs. If for 3 people, you can make 3 meatballs.
10) Through the meatball from one hand to the other 20 times. It'll remove the air bubbles from the
mixture. Then, shape it into a round patty. After the patties are done, cover them with plastic wrap
and refrigerate them for 30 minutes.

Cooking Instructions 2 ( how to cook hamburger patties)
1) Place the patties on a non-stick frying pan. If you don't have a non-stick frying pan, add a
little bit of cooking oil and place the patties over it. Then turn on the heat to Medium- low
and cook them for 3 minutes to sear the bottom side of the patties.
2) Flip the patties over and cook for another 3 minutes to sear the other side of the patties.
3) Flip the patties again. Then, lower the heat to LOW, add 3 tablespoons of water, put a lid
on, and steam the patties for 5 minutes. And it's ready.
4) Move your hamburger steaks to serving plates and cover them with aluminum foil to keep
them warm.

Cooking Instructions 3 ( how to make sauce )
1) We'll use the same pan. Add Red wine to the pan. Turn on the heat to medium-low. Then,
scrape off the flavorful bits stick to the bottom of the pan.
2) Once the Red wine starts boiling, add Ketchup, Worcestershire Sauce, and Butter to the pan.
Then give it a mix and continue stirring until the sauce thickens.
3) Pour the sauce over the hamburger steak and it's done.
