Direct From a Former Steak Chef: The Golden Ratio for Hamburger Steak
After making hamburgers many, many times, this is the golden ratio I finally achieved on the 100th attempt! I'm not at all ashamed of this, as a former professional chef! I've invested a lot of money in this recipe! I used to make tons of hamburger steaks at work, but the key here is that you can make this with regular home cooking ingredients you already have!
If you use regular salt instead of seasoned salt, use a little less.
If you want to see the juices flooding out of the burgers, please rest the formed hamburgers in the refrigerator before cooking them!
When pan frying the burgers, start by browning both sides over high-medium heat! Once you turn them over, turn the heat down to low for both sides. Recipe by Silvy1978

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the garlic and onion finely, and sauté them lightly in a frying pan. (Don't add oil to the pan.) You can microwave them instead if you like.
- 2
Combine the ○ ingredients in a bowl. I recommend using both coarse grind and regular grind black pepper together. If you use regular salt rather than seasoned salt, use a bit less than indicated.
- 3
When the onion and garlic from Step 1 has cooled down, combine with the Step 2 mixture.
- 4
Add the ground meat...(choose ground meat that's pink instead of red. Although you don't need to get too hung up on this.)
- 5
Mix and knead well! Do this by hand, ok? It's loose but don't worry! Rest the mixtured for several hours in the refrigerator. The paté will stiffen up.
- 6
Take it out of the refrigerator - wow! It's become a lot stiffer! Form into patties, and let's cook them in a frying pan! Brown them on both sides over high-medium heat, then cook on both sides over low heat.

You may want to refer to "A Hamburger Chef Teaches You How to Pan Fry Hamburgers" -. This time we are going to braise the hamburgers though so they aren't pan-fried to the end!

You're worried if the hamburgers are cooked through right? I can tell by touching them, but there's another method. Wipe the fat out of the pan with paper towels here. You don't have to do it though!
- 9
So here's that alternate method to cook the hamburgers through for beginners! We'll just steam-cook them! Add the △ ingredients and let's steam-cook! You can add some parboiled vegetables here too!
- 10
When the liquid in the frying pan comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low, cover the pan with a lid and simmer.
- 11
After about 5 minutes, remove the lid. Shake the pan and reduce the sauce! Spoon the sauce over the hamburgers as you do this...
- 12
When the sauce has thickened it's good. It will become this shiny! If you poke one of the hamburgers with a toothpick to check if it's cooked through, the juices will come bursting out! So don't poke!
- 13
I used some grilled vegetables as garnish. Warm the serving plates in advance of course! Do this in the microwave, or on top of a pot of boiling water or something!
- 14
Glazed carrots to serve on the side are a must, right? See my recipe for easy glazed carrots -!
https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/145469-former-steak-chefs-recipe-easy-glazed-carrots
- 15
Serve on a plate...
- 16
..and spoon on some sauce! (If the red wine is sour, the sauce will be sour too. Please add sugar to adjust if needed.)
- 17
Draw a picture on your hamburgers with coffee cream! Voila! Enjoy! The juices will come flooding out!
- 18
When you cut the hamburgers, try pressing down on them! The juices will come flooding out!!
- 19
For tofu hamburgers without anything extra in them, see.
- 20
How about some garlic rice or buttered rice to go with your hamburgers?. Mix the meat juices with the rice!
- 21
If you cook the hamburgers en papillote (wrapped in parchment paper), they will be even juicier. See my recipe for tofu hamburgers -.
- 22
You can just serve the hamburgers simply with grated daikon radish and soy sauce instead of making a sauce!

Going One Step Further! The Basics to Making Great Hamburger Steaks Going One Step Further! The Basics to Making Great Hamburger Steaks
Hamburger steaks are pretty mundane in Japan, but I published this recipe because I included the procedures to make them really delicious.Since it's quite hard to master the basics, I named the recipe thusly.The main points are the kneading, the resting and the cooking. The best balance of ingredients depends on your tastes, but I like the amounts listed. Some people add raw onions, others fry the onion first and this recipe is the latter. Frying the onion allows the sweet flavor of the onion to blend with the hamburger meat. For serving 2. Recipe by Monpuchicchi

This recipe is a collection of the good points of the many recipes for hamburger steak that I have tried. If you don't have all the spices, no problem!

If you coat the patties with flour before cooking them, they will be tender and juicy.The yogurt tenderizes the meat, and makes it taste better too.This mixture has spices that bring out the umami of the meat, so it's really delicious.If you spread some vegetable oil on your hands before forming the patties, the meat won't stick to them.Since the patties are coated with flour, the sauce will coat them well too.

Juicy Hamburger Steaks Juicy Hamburger Steaks
I took tips from various recipes as reference, and came up with my own version![Tip 1] Knead the meat in 2 batches, kneading it the first time until the meat becomes fluffy.[Tip 2] Make sure to thoroughly remove trapped air pockets when molding the patties (or else they will break apart when cooking).[Tip 3] Pour boiling water into the pan to prevent the temperature of the pan from dropping. For 2 servings (3 hamburgers). Recipe by Annakarenina -
Extremely Juicy! Light and Tender Hamburger Steaks Extremely Juicy! Light and Tender Hamburger Steaks
Whenever I made hamburgers, they always ended up tough. So I studied various recipes, and made these after a lot of experimenting.Adjust the amount of milk added, and knead the meat well until it it's sticky. The burgers will toughen if you cook them for too long, so turn the heat down midway through. They will plump up even more if you add 50 ml of water when cooking. Reduce the sauce down a bit in the pan. Recipe by A.Honotan -

Hamburger Steak (ハンバーグステーキ) Hamburger Steak (ハンバーグステーキ)
Once again, this recipe normally calls for finely chopped onions, but since Mrs Wyrm finds them to have an unpleasant flavour after our suspected COVID-19 infection I've omitted them, along with the more elaborate spices I'd normally add. Finely chop one medium onion, sauté, let it cool, and mix it with the ground meats if you want to add it. 🇯🇵
