Hamburg Steak Curry

Instructions

1. Prepare the Hamburg mixture
   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, half of the chopped onion, garlic, egg, panko breadcrumbs, milk, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until the mixture becomes sticky and well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2. Form the patties
   Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into an oval patty about 1-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
3. Cook the Hamburg steaks
   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
4. Start the curry sauce
   In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté the remaining onion until translucent. Add the carrots and potatoes, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Prepare the curry
   Add water or beef stock to the skillet and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Break the curry roux into pieces and add to the skillet. Stir until completely dissolved and the sauce has thickened. Add the remaining tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
6. Combine and simmer
   Return the Hamburg steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the curry sauce over them. Simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve
   Place a portion of cooked Japanese rice on one side of a plate and place a Hamburg steak on the other side. Pour curry sauce over both the rice and Hamburg steak. Serve hot.
