Equipment

  • 1 Frying pan with a lid
  • 1 bowl

Ingredients

  • 500 gram Ground beef
  • 1 Onion (chopped finely) for hamburger
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
  • a pinch of Salt & pepper
  • 250 gram Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1.5 Onion (cut into ¼ then sliced) for sukiyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup Japanese soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Mirin
  • 1/4 cup Japanese sake or Chinese rice wine
  • 2 tablespoon Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dashi powder, if you have (optional)
  • 1~1.5 tablespoon Cornstarch (dissolved with same amount of water)
  • 1.5~2 tablespoon Chopped chive

Instructions

  • Add the hamburger ingredients (ground beef, finely chopped onion, bread crumbs, eggs, salt and pepper) to a bowl and mix well until it becomes sticky. Then divide it into 4 equal parts and make it into a flat oval shape.
  • Heat a frying pan and add vegetable oil (1 tablespoon). Place the hamburger steaks and fry over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until browned.  
  • When browned, turn over, cover, and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and onions.  Once the hamburger is cooked, remove it to a plate and clean off any remaining oil from the frying pan with a paper towel.
  • Heat about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and fry the onions and mushrooms over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until soft.  
  • Then add the ingredients for the sukiyaki broth (soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, dashi powder, water), bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for 7 to 8 minutes.  Check and adjust taste. (If the taste is too strong, add water, or if it is weak, add seasoning.)  Then add cornstarch dissolved in water to thicken it.
  • Return the hamburger steak, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes to warm up and let the flavors blend.
    Arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives and serve with mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

While you're making the hamburgers, prepare some mashed potatoes or rice.
