Delicious Hamburg Steaks with Stewed Shiitake Mushrooms

Mixing in some chopped, simmered Shiitake will take your classic Hamburg steak to a whole new flavor! Guanylate of dried Shiitake boosts the Umami taste of meat. It is a great flavor when you finely chop the simmered Shiitake and mix them well with the ground meat!

Guanylate, unique to dried Shiitake mushrooms, deepens the original umami of the meat, making Hamburger Steak very tasty.

Chopping up rehydrated dried Shiitake and stems and mixing them with ground meat, or simply mixing Shiitake powder with ground meat makes a wonderfully tasty Hamburger Steak.

What's more, chopping up braised Nimono Shiitakes and mixing them into Hamburger Steak is superb! You can also add the braised shiitake juice to the sauce.

Once Shiitake is braised, its strong aroma disappears, and the umami flavor becomes thicker, so using them as a secret ingredient in this way makes all the usual dishes more delicious!

Meat

Ingredients (4 servings)

4 mushrooms (80g) Simmered Shiitake
400g Ground beef and pork blend
1 half Onion
1 Egg
As needed Vegetable oil
1 cup Breadcrumbs
A dash Salt and pepper
2 Tbsp Milk
100ml Ketchup
50ml Worcestershire sauce

Steps

Finely chop the stewed shiitake mushrooms and the onion.

Saute the onion well, and set aside to cool.

While the ground beef and pork blend is still cold, add the salt and pepper, and rub in well, until the mixture becomes thick and sticky with a whitish color.

Next, add the shiitake mushrooms, egg, onion, breadcrumbs, and milk, and mix well. Shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties, taking care to ensure that no air is trapped inside.

Heat a frying pan on high heat, and add vegetable oil. Fry the Hamburg steaks on medium heat. Once their color has changed, flip them. Cover and cook on low heat.

Once the Hamburg steaks are cooked, leave the juices in the pan, add the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, and allow them to simmer for one minute on low heat.

Serve the Hamburg steaks on plates, and drizzle with the sauce made in the previous step.

Point

Dried Shiitake mushrooms should be rehydrated in cold water to make them sweeter and tastier without any messy taste.
