Making a burger steak is as simple as making your hamburger. You will find it so easy to prepare. This is somewhat a copy cat of the Jollibee burger steak, a savory and moist beef burgers smothered with a rich and tasty mushroom gravy sauce paired with steaming rice or mashed potatoes. Burger steak is actually a Pinoy version of Salisbury steak and one of the cheapest dish on the Jollibee’s menu and it could be cheaper if you will make your own burger steak with mushroom gravy.
The combination of ground pork and ground beef is what makes this burger steak so delicious. Although you can make burger patties out of pure ground beef or ground pork, combining them will make the patties more savory because the pork fat will give more flavor to the ground beef.

NOTES ON THE INGREDIENTS:
Beef Patty
The beef patty used in this burger steak is made from ground beef that is seasoned with salt and pepper. The beef is then shaped into a patty that is about 1/2 inch thick and 4 inches in diameter. The patty is cooked until it is browned on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Mushroom Gravy
Mushroom gravy is a rich and creamy sauce made from beef broth, mushrooms, butter, and flour. The beef broth is thickened with a roux made from butter and flour. The mushrooms are sautéed in butter until they are browned and tender. The mushrooms are then added to the gravy and stirred until the gravy is thick and creamy.
Bread Crumbs
Bread crumbs are used in the beef patty to help bind the meat together and to give it a slightly crispy texture when it is cooked. The bread crumbs are made from stale bread that is ground up into small pieces.
Worcestershire Sauce
Worcestershire sauce is a savory condiment made from vinegar, molasses, anchovies, and other ingredients. It adds a rich and complex flavor to the beef patty.
Onion and Garlic
Finely minced onion and garlic are added to the beef patty to give it a sweet and savory flavor. The onion and garlic are sautéed until they are softened before being mixed into the beef patty.
Milk and Egg
Milk and egg are added to the beef patty to help keep it moist and tender. The milk is absorbed by the bread crumbs, which helps to keep the patty from drying out during cooking.
Sugar
A small amount of sugar is added to the beef patty to help balance the flavors and to add a touch of sweetness.

Perfect! I added 1-2 tsp mushroom soy sauce to mine 😋
this burger steak recipe is just pure perfection *chef’s kiss*
Hi Mitch! Thanks for your comment! I hope u also watch the video!😁
Sarap! I made this for the 1st time. My husband loves it and said “The sauce is from Jollibee!” Thank you for sharing this recipe. I added more onions though on this recipe.
Hi Mary, you’re welcome! thanks also for sharing your cooking experience. I hop u also watched the video! 😁
This is really good! Tried this today for lunch and the recipe is sensational. I used oyster sauce instead of Worcestershire since we don’t have it in the kitchen ❤️ Kudos!!! Would definitely recommend this to my friends ☺️👏🏽
Hi Anele, thanks for trying to cook the recipe! 😁
Any alternative for Worcestershire sauce?
I tried it just now for lunch with my family and we liked it. Next time I think Ill try for less Worcestershire sauce and pure beef. And I didnt brown the butter flour mixture enough so the gravy did not turn out brown, but light brown, but still good!! So next time will brown it more before adding the beef broth. And ill take the gravy out of the heat earlier so it wouldn’t thicken too much. All in all tho, this is a good copycat recipe…THANKS
Hi Diane, that’s very nice and thank you for sharing your experience! cheers!
Ill be making half a kilo of beef only, should i take the measurements of the other ingredients in half too?
Hi Mayo, sure you have to divide all the ingredients in two.
What particular bread crumbs to be used? Panco?
Hi Evelyn, yes you can use panko bread crumbs. I didn’t specify because you can use any kinds of bread crumbs.
Yummy..try to do this today for lunch
Hi Imelda, I’m sure you’re going to love it!
Pwede po cornstarch pamalit sa all purpose flour?
Pwede rin siguro medyo iba lng ng consistency.
Doesn’t taste the same, you have to put Jollibee’s secret ingredient which is MSG, also add Knorr beef cubes to the burger mix and gravy and you would get close to the Jollibee taste.
Hi Jason, the recipe already has beef cubes. And I think MSG will help to make the taste close to Jollibee’s burger steak.
Can I use fresh milk instead of evaporated milk?
Hi Judith, yes you can use fresh milk.
