konnichiwa it's nami from just one cookbook back with another video for you
and today I'm going to share how to make Japanese hamburger steak called Hambagu
hambagu is one of the most popular western-style japanese foods and there
are many hambagu specialty restaurants all over japan with a red wine reduction sauce
this homemade hamburger is incredibly juicy and melt in your mouth
it's my son's favorite food and this is how I be making it for the case
now let me show you how to put it together
1/2 onion 5 oz (142 g)
chop the onion finely
if the onions need to be chopped finer, you can run your knife through them in a rocking motion
medium heat
vegetable oil 1 tbsp
heat oil in a large pan over medium heat and add the onion
sauté the onion until tender and almost translucent
transfer to a large bowl and let it cool
once the onion is cool,
ground beef/pork 3/4 lb (340g)
add the ground beef and pork in the bowl
kosher salt 1/2 tsp
black pepper
nutmeg 1/2 tsp
panko 1/3 cup (20 g)
milk 2 tbsp
1 large egg
start mixing all together with a silicone spatula/spoon
then switch to hand and knead the mixture until sticky and pale
divide the mixture into quarters (or you can make 6 smaller patties) and scoop out each portion
toss it from one hand to the other hand repeatedly about 10 times between hands
make oval shape patties (4 oz or 113 g each)
cover with plastic and keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
prepare your sides while waiting
medium heat
vegetable oil 1 tbsp
in a large pan, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat and place the patties gently on the pan
cook the patties until brown on the bottom side, about 3 minutes
then carefully flip and cook for another 3 minutes until browned
red wine 3 tbsp
add 3 Tbsp red wine and cover with a lid
reduce the heat to low heat and cook for 5-7 minutes to thoroughly cook the inside of the patties
uncover and check doneness by inserting a skewer. If clear juice comes out, it's done
transfer the hambagu steaks into individual plates
do not wash the pan as you will make the sauce next
In the same frying pan (without cleaning)
unsalted butter 1 tbs (13 g)
ketchup 3 tbsp
tonkatsu sauce 3 tbsp
red wine 3 tbsp
water 3 tbsp
medium heat
mix well together and bring the sauce on medium heat to simmer and let the alcohol evaporate
when the sauce thickens (you can draw a line on the bottom of the frying pan with a spatula)
drizzle the sauce over the hamburger steaks
we typically serve steamed rice, miso soup, and maybe a salad with this meal
