Burger steak consists of ground beef burger patties with mushroom gravy. Filipinos have recently loved this meal specially when served in karinderyas. Although this dish isn’t really part of the authentic native Filipino cuisine, the fast food chains here in the Philippines have altered the dish to the likings of Filipinos.
But the real part that gets Filipinos all excited from this dish is the thick and delicious mushroom gravy which they usually drizzle over their rice. Being an Asian country, rice is usually picked over from the usual partners of burger steaks such as mashed potato or mac and cheese.
