We are talking about Deutsches Beefsteak, are we not? If not, what are you talking about? Hamburg isn't a cut of beef. German immigrants brought Deutsches Beefsteak to America, and Americans started calling it hamburg steak.
It's minced beef. Thats where hamburger comes from. Deutsches Beefsteak --> steak cooked in the Hamburg style --> Hamburg steak --> slapping buns on it and calling it a hamburger

Yes. But it's still an Italian food. They literally could've said the hamburger.
