    Japanese Hamburger Steak 

    Kids, adults, and basically everyone will love these miniature meatloaves! Japanese hamburger steaks have the same consistency of meatloaf, but are spiced slightly differently.

    Instead of Italian seasoning, they are made with Worcestershire sauce and sesame seeds. 

    Traditional Japanese hamburger steaks are called Hambagu. They are usually made with a combination of ground beef and pork, so go ahead and add some pork to your hamburger steaks. It really adds a wonderful spice to them.

    Traditionally, Japanese hamburger steak is covered in a sweet and salty sauce that’s made from a red wine reduction, ketchup, and Tonkatsu sauce.

    To make a keto-friendly version, I used sugar-free ketchup, Swerve brown sugar substitute, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. You could use red wine vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar if you want it to have those sweeter notes. 

    Easy Dinner With Hamburger Meat 

    This is the perfect meal to make ahead for your family. Fry up the hamburger steaks and then store them in an airtight container for up to three days.

    When you are ready to serve them for dinner, just whisk together the sauce ingredients and then add the hamburger steaks to a skillet with the sauce and cook them until they are heated all the way through. 

    If you are going to pack them in your lunch, I suggest storing the hamburger steaks separately from the sauce. It will prevent the steaks from soaking up the sauce and becoming soggy. 

    What To Eat With Hamburger Steak 

    Japanese hamburger steak is usually served with rice. To keep it keto-friendly, serve them with some cauliflower rice instead. Garlic butter cauliflower rice will taste amazing with it!

    Keto egg drop soup is also the perfect thing to add to the table with your hamburger steaks. It’s a light soup with mild flavors and everyone loves it. 

    Keto Japanese Recipe 

    Instead of cutting into the hamburger steaks to see if they are fully cooked, use an internal food thermometer. Your Japanese hamburger steaks should be cooked until they reach 165F.

    Save yourself the mess and make them in the air fryer. Heat the air fryer to 370F. Then, cook the hamburger steaks for about 6 minutes. flip them over, and cook for another 5 minutes.

    You might have to adjust the cooking time. Keep cooking your hamburger steaks until they reach 165F. Then, heat the sauce on the stove and add the sauce to the steaks on your plate.

    It’s a much easier way to cook them – and uses less grease!
