KITCHEN MISADVENTURE SERIES – Burger steak with mushroom gravy

My daughter’s all-time favorite food is Jollibee’s burger steak so I would often try to replicate this dish using home-made burger patties and gravy. For the burger patties, I simply combined ½ kilo of ground pork, minced carrots, 2 medium onions, salt, pepper, magic sarap, 2 eggs, bread crumbs and a bit of flour. Form into patties and fry in a non-stick pan over medium heat. While the patties are frying, I started doing the gravy. In a separate pan, melt butter and pan-fry the mushrooms then set aside. Melt more butter, add flour all at once, then pour in broth (if you have any) or even plain water will do. Stir continuously and season with salt and pepper to taste, add a bit of soy sauce for some color. I let the burgers cool for a bit, packed it in my daughter’s lunchbox and topped with the mushroom gravy sauce. I just hope that my daughter likes it!

P.S. She liked it!
