 200 g (about 7 oz.) ground beef (from a cut that has a fair amount of fat in it - very lean beef will not work because it will be too dry.)
 100 g (about 3 1/2 oz) ground pork
 ½ medium onion
 ¾ tbsp salt
 About 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
 About 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
 1 cup soft white breadcrumbs (Make the breadcrumbs from regular white bread slices with the crusts off. The crumb of a baguette is really good for this.)
 2 -3 tbsp milk
 1 egg
 Oil for cooking
For the sauce:
 ½ cup dry red wine
 ⅓ cup ketchup
 ⅓ cup Japanese tonkatsu sauce

1

Chop the onion very finely. Sauté the onion in a little oil until translucent. Let cool.

2

Moisten the breadcrumbs with the milk. Combine the meat, cooled onions, moistened breadcrumbs, egg, salt, ground pepper and nutmeg. Your hands are the best tools for this. Combine well until everything is well incorporated.

3

Divide into 4 portions. Form into patties, slapping each with your palms until the surface is smooth. Indent the middle with your thumb - this makes sure the middle gets cooked evenly.

4

Heat up the Breville BBQ Grill. Place the hamburgers well apart in the griller, and grill until browned. Then turn over. Grill the hamburgers for about 8 minutes until the middle bounces back if you press down on it. Take out and keep warm.

5

In a pan, add the red wine and reduce it in half. Add the ketchup and the Tonkatsu sauce and stir until well combined. Pour over the hamburgers.
