Burger Steak 3 Ways with Java Rice & Sauce
This recipe is your ticket to an exciting family-style burger steak platter! Imagine juicy beef patties served with vibrant yellow Java rice, sweet buttered carrots, and not just one—but three different sauces. It’s a weekday dinner turned into a weekend-style feast!
🍽️ What Makes This Special?
This isn't your ordinary burger steak. It's a choose-your-own-adventure plate featuring:
- 🍄 Mushroom gravy – classic, creamy, and umami-rich
- 🌿 Chimichurri – herby, tangy, and vibrant
- 💛 Creamy mustard – tangy-sweet with a garlic kick
All paired with colourful Java rice and buttered carrots, it’s a meal that works just as well for baon as it does for entertaining.
🧠 Tips & Tricks
- Fluff your rice. Let the Java rice rest after cooking to get that light, fluffy texture.
- Sauce control. Keep sauces in individual bowls—great for picky eaters and kids!
- Don’t rush the gravy. Low simmer is key to avoid a gummy texture.
- Make ahead. The creamy mustard sauce actually gets better after a few hours in the fridge.
👨🍳 Cooking Timeline (60 mins total)
- Start with the Java rice – set and forget if using a rice cooker.
- Simultaneously cook the buttered carrots and start the mushroom gravy.
- While those simmer, mix the chimichurri and whisk up the creamy mustard.
- Finally, pan-fry your burger patties, plate everything, and drizzle with your sauces of choice.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
Serve family-style on a big platter or plate individually—one patty with each sauce per plate. Great with iced tea or calamansi juice on the side!
🧊 Storage Notes
- Leftover sauces? Store in airtight containers:
- Gravy – Reheat gently with a splash of milk.
- Chimichurri – Best cold or at room temp.
- Mustard sauce – Thickens beautifully when chilled.
❓ FAQ
Can I use other burger patties?
Yes! Chicken or pork patties work well. Just make sure they’re fully cooked through.
How long will the sauces last?
Up to 2 days in the fridge. Store in clean containers and reheat the gravy gently.

Chef's Tips
Cook the Java rice slightly ahead so it has time to rest and become fluffy before plating.
Do not boil the mushroom gravy too hard or it may become gluey—let it gently simmer while whisking.
If serving kids, divide the sauces into small dipping bowls so they can choose their favourite.
Chill the creamy mustard if making ahead; the flavour develops as it sits in the fridge.
