Onion-Stuffed Hamburg Steak with Plenty of Spring Onions

Onion-Stuffed Hamburg Steak with Plenty of Spring Onions

A hearty stuffed hamburg steak made by hollowing out spring onions into cups, filling them with meat, and slowly steam-frying them with a lid on. The scooped-out onion is mixed into the meat and also cooked alongside to become a Japanese-style onion sauce. The tender meat mixture uses no egg, relying instead on mayonnaise and panko, and pairs perfectly with the sweet, melt-in-your-mouth spring onions. Finished with cheddar cheese and black pepper, it makes a dish that goes wonderfully with rice.

INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut off the top and bottom of the spring onions, halve them crosswise, and peel. Push out the center portion to remove it, leaving about two outer layers to form cups. Make 4 cups total from 2 onions.

    1:52~10 min
  2. 2

    Finely mince the scooped-out onion centers with a food chopper. Chopping by hand is fine too.

    3:36~2 min
  3. 3

    Put the ground beef and pork blend in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

    4:22~2 min
  4. 4

    Add 2 pinches of panko and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and knead well. No egg is used this time, letting the texture of the meat shine.

    5:02~3 min
  5. 5

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 portions and stuff them into the onion cups. If there isn't enough, mix in about 80g of the minced onion to bulk it up, and pack the cups full to the brim.

    6:11~5 min
  6. 6

    Lightly coat a frying pan with olive oil, arrange the stuffed onions in it, cover with a lid, and cook.

    7:51~5 min
  7. 7

    Once browned, flip them relatively early, cover again, and steam-fry.

    9:04~2 min
  8. 8

    Add the minced onion to the empty spaces around them and steam-fry together. Spring onions are sharp when raw, so cook them through for the sauce.

    9:42~1 min
  9. 9

    Keep the lid on and steam-fry for about 10 to 12 minutes. They're done when a fork slides easily into the onion and it's tender enough to cut with a knife. The meat juices will bubble up.

    10:17~12 min
  10. 10

    To finish, spread out the onions around them and place cheddar cheese on top of the patties to melt.

    14:43~2 min
  11. 11

    Once the cheese has melted, plate them.

    15:36~1 min
  12. 12

    Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the soft onions left in the pan and toss lightly to make the onion sauce. Pour it around the patties without reducing it. Finish with black pepper and parsley. Serve with rice if you like.

    16:37~2 min
