What Is Burger Steak?
Burger steak represents a classic Filipino meal that consists of ground beef patties served on top of rice and covered with mushroom gravy. This is usually popular at fast food restaurants, but if you make it in the house with your own burger patty, you will be able to enjoy that familiar and comforting taste anytime.
If you definitely do not want to make your own burger patties, then just get CDO Ulam Burger. It is made of 100% pure beef, which simply means that every single bite is tasty and delightful.
But if you are willing to try something crisp and crunchy, then you should pick the CDO Crispy Burger. It is a crispy version of the normal burger patty, thus making the texture of each spoonful of rice and gravy more interesting.
What makes it special is its balance. The beefy taste of the burger patty pairs well with the savory mushroom gravy sauce. And because rice is life for Filipinos, it quickly became a crowd favorite. Over the years, it’s become an easy-to-cook ulam you’ll see on both fast-food menus and home dining tables.
Burger Steak Recipe with Mushroom Gravy
Here’s a burger steak recipe that you can cook at home. It’s affordable, easy, and will give you the same comforting taste you’re craving.
Ingredients
- CDO Ulam Burger patties
- 3 tablespoons toasted garlic
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Mushroom Gravy Ingredients
- 3/4 cup button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 beef bouillon
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 3/4 cup water
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Burger Patties
To begin with, take 1 tablespoon of oil and heat it in a pan. When the oil is hot, put the burger patties into the pan. Cook one side till it gets browned to a nice extent, then turn over to the other.
Each patty should be solid on the outside and have a moist center. Tap lightly with a spatula, and if liquid appears, then they are ready for serving.
Note: Don't fill the pan with too many items. Sear the burgers properly and do not let them steam by giving them space. In case you want the edges to get crisp, leave the burgers for a bit longer on the medium heat. After finishing the cooking, move the burgers to a plate and let them sit.
Step 2: Make the Mushroom Gravy
First, you need to melt three tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Add the mushrooms, and cook over medium heat for about a minute while stirring. This quick cooking in a hot pan is the way to release their earthy flavor.
Shovel in four tablespoons of flour. Stir until you get a sticky paste. Gradually, add 1 ¾ cups of water by portions while whisking to prevent the sauce from becoming lumpy.
Tip: To get a deeper taste, replace some of the water with beef broth. The sauce will become thicker as it is simmered, so stir constantly to distribute the heat and prevent the formation of lumps. When the desired consistency is achieved, add the beef bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, and salt along with ground black pepper. Taste the mushroom gravy sauce, and then, if necessary, add more seasoning.
Step 3: Assemble the Burger Steak
Next, lay out three burger patties next to a cup of steaming rice on a plate. Then, pour the mushroom gravy liberally over the burger patties. Garnish with sautéed garlic and minced parsley. The garlic gives crunch while the parsley adds color to the plate.
And there you have it, your own burger steak recipe done right at home.
