Japanese Hamburger Steak (JUICY)

Japanese Hamburger Steak (JUICY)

Juicy, savory, tender beef patty stuffed with melting cheese inside, topped with red wine reduction steak sauce drizzled all over the hamburger steak.

You didn’t think I would not include one of the most ICONIC recipes, Japanese Hamburger Steak, in my Cooking Mama Series, did you? Japanese Hamburger Steak is the perfect weeknight dinner but also the perfect date night meal as well.

It is fancy, with accessible ingredients, and easy to make at home. Get ready to try this juicy and delicious Hamburger Steak that will melt in your mouth! 

Japanese Hamburger Steak (JUICY)

Japanese Hamburger Steak is made out of simple and accessible ingredients that you can find at your local grocery stores.

All you need is beef, pork, panko, egg, milk, and onions. I like to use beef and pork (2:1) because it makes the patty more juicy and soft; however, if you don’t consume pork, you can use 100% beef.

Optional, but HIGHLY recommend; I LOVE to stuff mozzarella cheese on the inside as it adds another layer of richness to the dish.

A few tips to make your Japanese Hamburger Steak EXTRA delicious.

First, make sure to take your time to saute the onions versus adding them in raw. Onions and beef are the perfect combinations made in heaven. By sauteing the onions; adds sweetness to the dish, which gives another layer of flavor.

Second, make sure to tightly pack the patty to remove any air bubbles. This step will prevent the beef from falling apart when you fry it.

Lastly, cook the red wine reduction sauce in the same pan, so you get all the juices from the patty. 

Red wine reduction sauce

These Japanese Hamburger Steak pairs perfectly with rice, salad, or a side of grilled vegetables.

I enjoy making these steak patties for date night with a nice glass of red wine on the side. These patties also are perfect for meal prepping and lunch the next day as it is a good source of protein and pairs well with everything. It can last in the fridge for up to 4 days, and you can also freeze it for up to one month.

Japanese Hamburger Steak (JUICY)

Ingredients 

  • 1 lb of Ground Beef 
  • 0.5 lb of Ground Pork 
  • ¾ cup of Panko 
  • 1 Large Onion (chopped) 
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste) 
  • 2 tbsp of Soy Sauce 
  • 1 large Egg 
  • 3 tbsp of Milk
  • 1 cup of cheese (cut into cubes) 
  • ¼ cup of Red Wine or Beef Stock 
  • ¼ cup of Water 

For the Sauce 

  • ½ cup of Red Wine 
  • 2 tbsp of Unsalted Butter 
  • 3 tbsp of Ketchup
  • 4 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce 
  1. In a pan, add in chopped onion, drizzle in oil, and saute on medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until the onion is soft and slightly brown. 
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, ground pork, panko, egg, salt and pepper, soy sauce, milk, and saute onions. Knead and mix thoroughly until everything is combined. This process may take around 3-5 minutes to keep kneading until the meat becomes sticky. 
  3. Form patty into your desire size; I recommend making eight patties. Using your hands, form the patty into a ball. Make a dent in the middle and add cheese cubes. Push it downwards and add more ground meat before tightly forming it into a ball.
  4. Toss between two hands at least 5-10 times to push out all the air bubbles. Let it rest in the freezer for 10 minutes. I like to keep it as a ball as I find it is easier to move it to the pan later on before frying. 
  5. Drizzle oil into a pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the pan is hot, add in the beef patties. Using your thumb, make a dent in the middle to prevent the meat from exploding. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  6. Add in ¼ cup of Red Wine and ¼ cup of Water. Put the lid on and let it cook for 5 minutes. This steaming process makes the patty EXTRA juicy. 
  7. After 5 minutes, remove the patty and set it aside. In the same pan, add in butter, red wine, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Turn the heat to medium, and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. 
  8. Drizzle the sauce over the beef patty and serve rice, salad, mash potatoes, or grilled vegetables. Enjoy!

    I made this tonight but I’m on keto so I left out the panko. I don’t know what it was supposed to taste like with the panko but it was DAMN GOOD! It was so flavorful that I didn’t even think it needed the sauce but made it anyway and it made it even better.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
