Ground beef should be fresh and preferably 80% lean to ensure the patties stay juicy and flavorful. Using a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Worcestershire sauce enhances the umami profile, crucial for authentic Filipino-style burger steak. Breadcrumbs act as a binder and help maintain the patty's shape while keeping them tender. Fresh garlic is essential for both the rice and gravy to provide a rich, aromatic base. Your Ultimate Burger Steak from Jollibee copycat menu will shine brightest when these ingredients are handled with care and precision.

Substitution
The Ultimate Burger Steak from Jollibee copycat menu can be customized using ground pork or a mix of beef and pork if ground beef is unavailable. If oyster sauce is difficult to find, mushroom sauce or hoisin sauce provides a similar umami flavor for the patties and gravy. When jasmine rice is not on hand, basmati or long-grain white rice works well with garlic rice preparations. Steaming vegetables can be replaced by lightly sauteing them in a bit of oil and garlic to maintain texture and taste. You can adjust the seasoning of the patties and gravy to suit your personal preference, ensuring your version of this Filipino classic is just right.
Tips
Make sure to mix the ground beef and seasonings gently to avoid tough patties while ensuring even seasoning throughout. When cooking patties, avoid pressing them down on the skillet to retain their juiciness and prevent dryness. For garlic rice, use freshly minced garlic and saute until golden but not burnt to achieve a perfect aromatic flavor. Always simmer the gravy slowly after adding broth and flour mixture to reach the right thickness and avoid lumps in your sauce.
Nutritions
The Ultimate Burger Steak offers a well-balanced mix of macronutrients, providing protein from the 1 lb of ground beef and egg, essential for muscle repair and growth. The garlic rice, made with 2 cups of jasmine rice and sauteed garlic, supplies complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, while the steamed broccoli, carrots, and green beans contribute fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants for overall health. The brown gravy, made with beef broth and butter, adds some fat and enhances flavor but should be consumed in moderation due to its sodium content from soy and oyster sauces. Your meal combines hearty protein, energizing carbs, and nutrient-rich vegetables, supporting both taste and nutrition needs.
Storage
Store the Ultimate Burger Steak in airtight containers, separating the beef patties, garlic rice, and steamed vegetables to maintain optimal texture and flavors. Refrigerate within two hours of cooking and consume within 3-4 days to ensure freshness. When reheating, use a microwave or stovetop skillet to evenly warm the patties and rice while steaming the vegetables again for the best taste and quality.
Variation or Alternatives
You can substitute ground beef with ground pork or a mix of both for a slightly different flavor and texture. Swap jasmine rice for brown rice or cauliflower rice to make it healthier or low-carb. Instead of steaming, try sauteing the vegetables with a bit of garlic and oil for added flavor and crunch. For an easier gravy, use store-bought beef gravy mixed with a splash of soy sauce instead of making a roux from scratch.
Allergies
The Ultimate Burger Steak contains common allergens such as egg and soy from soy sauce and oyster sauce, which may trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. Breadcrumbs in the beef patties can contain gluten, making this dish unsuitable for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. You should exercise caution and verify ingredient sources if you have allergies to dairy, gluten, soy, or eggs before consuming this meal.
