Juicy, savory, and smothered in rich mushroom gravy, this Vegan Filipino Burger steak is the ultimate comfort food. All you need is 11 simple ingredients and about 30 minutes to make!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Vegan butter: Used to sauté the aromatics for both the burgers and the mushroom gravy.
- Aromatics: A simple mix of onion and garlic adds savory depth to create a flavorful base for both the gravy and burgers.
- Mushrooms: Baby Bella mushrooms (also known as cremini mushrooms) add a hearty texture and additional umami flavor.
- Soy sauce: Adds a rich umami and saltiness that enhances the overall flavor.
- Flour: Thickens the gravy into a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Broth: Vegan beef broth keeps the gravy rich and flavorful. If you’re sensitive to sodium, opt for a low-sodium vegan beef broth or your favorite vegetable broth.
- Vegan Worcestershire sauce: Adds a tangy, savory boost and deepens the overall flavor.
- Flaxseed meal: Acts as a vegan egg replacer and helps bind the burger mixture together.
- Vegan ground beef: We’ve used both Impossible and Beyond Meat, and both work very well.
- Panko breadcrumbs: Helps absorb moisture while keeping the patties tender and juicy!
Make the Gravy
- Sauté the onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
- Sauté the garlic and mushrooms. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining butter and seasonings. Add the remaining butter, plus the soy sauce and black pepper. Once the butter has melted, sprinkle the flour over top and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute or until the flour is hydrated.
- Add the broth. Stir in the broth and simmer the gravy until thickened, mixing often to prevent clumping.
- Season to taste. Season with salt and additional black pepper to taste.
Make the Burger Patties
- Sauté the onions. Heat one tablespoon of vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Sauté the garlic and mushrooms. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the mushrooms are softened and the moisture has cooked of,f about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add remaining burger ingredients. Add the soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, flaxseed meal, black pepper, vegan ground beef, and breadcrumbs to the bowl with the mushrooms and onion mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
- Make the patties. Scoop about ¼ cup of the meat mixture into slightly damp hands and shape into round patties about ½-inch thick. Place them on a parchment-lined plate and repeat until all the burger mixture is used.
- Pan-sear until browned and cooked through. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet, then cook the patties for a few minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Cook in batches, as needed.
- Serve. Arrange the cooked burger steaks over steamed rice and generously pour the gravy over. Top with chopped parsley and enjoy!
