Description
Juicy Japanese Hamburg Steak is a comforting dish combining ground beef and chicken for a tender patty, seared and simmered in a sweet-savory sauce. Perfectly paired with rice, vegetables, or mashed potatoes, it’s full of umami and satisfying flavor.
Ingredients
200g ground beef
200g ground chicken
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp butter (for sautéing onions)
1 egg
4 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
3 tbsp milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp neutral oil (for frying)
4 tbsp ketchup
4 tbsp tonkatsu or Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp water
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Sauté the chopped onion in butter over medium heat until soft and translucent. Let it cool.
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground chicken, cooled onion, egg, panko, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and sticky.
- Divide the mixture into two oval-shaped patties and press a small dent in the center of each for even cooking.
- Heat neutral oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and steam the patties for 5–6 minutes until fully cooked. Remove patties and set aside.
- In the same pan, combine ketchup, sauce, water, soy sauce, and sugar. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the patties to the pan and coat them evenly with the sauce.
- Serve warm with rice, vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
Swap chicken for pork for a richer flavor.
Use plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
Add Dijon mustard to the sauce for extra depth.
Mini patties work great for bento or sliders.
A touch of nutmeg adds warmth to the meat mix.
