Yoshiko's Hamburger Steak

My mother Yoshiko used to make this one for us and we loved it. I thought this was a dish from other country, but I have never seen one like this. Japanese must have invented this to mimic real stake long time ago. This is such a popular food in Japan, and a great memory for me.
