- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 8 Tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 pinch salt
- A little pepper
Special Hamburg Steak Sauce Ingredients- 1 onion (sliced)
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 6 Tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 cup (100ml) water
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 6 Tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 cup (100ml) water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop 1 onion for the Hamburg steak mixture. Lightly oil a frying pan and sauté the chopped onion over medium-low heat until it turns golden brown. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a little pepper for added flavor, then let it cool slightly. Using sautéed onion significantly deepens the flavor of the Hamburg steak.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 450g of ground pork with the cooled sautéed onion. Add 8 Tbsp breadcrumbs, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp ketchup, a pinch of salt, and a little pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the steak tough.
Step 3
While observing the consistency of the mixture, crack in 1 egg. The egg will help bind the ingredients and make the mixture more tender. Gently mix with a spatula or your hands until you achieve your desired texture for the Hamburg steak.
Step 4
Once the mixture is ready, divide it into 2-3 portions, depending on your desired serving size. This makes it easier to shape the patties.
Step 5
Shape each portion into a round, flat patty. Aim for a thickness that will cook through evenly in a pan. Since the steak will puff up as it cooks, gently press the center to create a slight indentation. This helps ensure even cooking and maintains a nice shape.
Step 6
Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the shaped Hamburg steaks in the hot pan and cook until one side is nicely browned. Flip them over and cook the other side similarly until fully cooked. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning and ensure the inside is cooked through.
Step 7
Once both sides are beautifully browned, your Hamburg steaks are ready! Now, let’s prepare the special sauce that pairs perfectly with these steaks.
Step 8
Without cleaning the frying pan, add the sliced 1 onion to the pan where you cooked the Hamburg steaks, along with any leftover drippings. Sauté the onions over medium-low heat until they soften. This incorporates the steak’s juices into the sauce base for extra flavor.
Step 9
To the pan with the sautéed onions, add 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sugar, 6 Tbsp ketchup, and 1/2 cup (100ml) water. Stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook until it thickens into a delicious sauce. Feel free to adjust the sugar or soy sauce to your taste.
Step 10
Place the browned Hamburg steak on a plate and generously ladle the warm, homemade sauce over the top. Your restaurant-quality Hamburg steak is now complete! Serve with a side salad or rice for a delightful meal.
