Hello fellow mommies! Sharing with you the quick and easy lunch I prepared recently. It is a basic burger steak recipe with mushroom gravy. I know I will not have much time to cook that day so the night before I decided to just thaw our ground beef and make this easy but very yummy dish.
It is very easy to do. All you need to do is to season the ground beef with salt and pepper. You can also use whatever herbs your kids and husband like. For instance you may put in garlic or onion powder, paprika, or even parsley. Whatever works for you!
Forming the burger steak patties
Combine and form burger patties. Yes it is just that, no other ingredients like eggs, or binders nor extenders. Just pure 100% beef goodness. I usually use an at least 80-20 lean to fat ratio. But if you are not so much concerned about the cholesterol levels then by all means get the wagyu ground beef which is just so yummy!
Anyway, form balls first and gently press down the size of your palms. Do not make it too thin nor too thick. Think of your favorite burger restaurant and aim for the thickness of their patties. Set aside.
Let us start cooking burger steak!
Drizzle cooking oil in a pan and melt some butter. Pan fry the patties, about three minutes per side. Do not press it down nor try to flip it in less than two minutes because the patty may crumble. Set aside once cooked. You may cover in foil if you wish.
Making the mushroom gravy
The mushroom gravy is equally easy to make! Here are the ingredients:
Mushroom Gravy Ingredients:
- Sliced Button Mushrooms
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1.5 Tbsp Flour
- 1 1/4 Cup Water
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- Half Beef Cubes
- Pepper
Saute the mushroom in melted butter. Tun off the heat. Combine the ingredients and make sure that the mixture is free from lumps. Turn on the heat, and bring to a boil. Add one tablespoon of butter. Simmer for a minute or two and adjust seasoning accordingly.

Food for the soul
At this point I hope you can allow me to share with you another bible passage that continues to inspire me. This time it is from the Book of Psalms:
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Psalm 139:13-14
