Juicy and flavorful Japanese-style hamburger steak, perfect for a hearty dinner. Served with a rich and tangy sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Finely chop half an onion for the patty and grate the other half for the sauce.

  2. 2

    Melt a small piece of butter in a pan, sauté the chopped onion until soft, then mix with flour and let cool.

  3. 3

    Mix bread crumbs with milk. Combine beef and pork with salt, nutmeg, and black pepper. Add the sautéed onion, egg, and milk-soaked bread crumbs. Mix clockwise until sticky.

  4. 4

    Oil your hands, shape the mixture into patties, flatten slightly, place on baking paper, and refrigerate.

  5. 5

    Heat oil in a pan, cook patties for 1.5 minutes on each side on medium heat. Reduce to low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove patties. If there's excess oil, pour it out. Add sake to the pan, bring to a boil, then add grated onion, garlic paste, soy sauce, ketchup, mirin, vinegar, and water. Simmer for 2 minutes until thickened. Add black pepper and butter.

  7. 7

    Pour the sauce over the patties and serve with vegetables.
