Japanese hamburg steak with demi-glace

Hambāgu is a star of Japan's yōshoku cuisine - Western-inspired dishes that have taken on a distinctly Japanese form since the Meiji era.

The juicy patty of beef and pork is made with sweated onions and panko, then served under a glossy demi-glace or tonkatsu sauce.
