Ingredients
Scale
- 500g ground beef (preferably a mix of lean and fatty)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup beef broth (or water)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for sauce)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (for sauce)
- Chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Steamed rice (for serving)
- Steamed vegetables (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, panko breadcrumbs, milk, egg, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix thoroughly.
- Knead the mixture gently until it becomes slightly sticky, about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overworking the meat to prevent toughness.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- After resting, wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, and divide the mixture into four equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
- Place the shaped patties on a plate and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.
- Once browned, add the beef broth (or water) to the skillet, covering the patties halfway. Cover with a lid and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and let the liquid reduce for another 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
- Once the patties are done cooking, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Pour the sauce over the patties.
- Serve with a generous scoop of steamed rice alongside the hamburger steak.
- Optionally, add a side of steamed vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or green beans.
- Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
