Finely chop the onion, soften it in 1 tablespoon of oil for 6 minutes, and cool.
Soak the breadcrumbs in milk and let stand for 5 minutes.
Knead the ground meat, onion, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until sticky.
Divide the mixture into 4 patties, knock out the air, shape them oval, and press the centers.
Rest the patties in the refrigerator for 20 minutes so they do not fall apart in the pan.
Brown the first side of the patties in a hot pan for 3 minutes.
Turn, cover, and cook for 7 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches a safe level.
Remove the patties and boil the tonkatsu sauce, ketchup, stock, and butter in the same pan for 2 minutes.
Drizzle the sauce over the patties and serve.
💡 Tip: Pressing a hollow into the center of each patty after shaping reduces bulging and cracking during cooking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with rice, steamed broccoli, and glazed carrots.
