Instructions

Soak panko bread crumbs in milk for a few minutes while you get the rest of your hamburg steak ingredients.

Mix with your hands until thoroughly combined, but try not to overmix. Form 12 patties.

In an oiled skillet, cook patties for 4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove patties from skillet.

In the same skillet, saute onions and shiitake. The leftover grease from the patties should be enough to cook the vegetables, but if not, add a little oil.

When onions are soft, add the water. Bring to a simmer.
