In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, minced onion, sliced garlic, 2 pinches of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Form the seasoned meat mixture into large meatballs, then flatten them as much as possible into patties. This is important as they will shrink significantly during cooking.

Place the flattened patties in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties, flipping them once their edges turn gray. Continue cooking until all the burger steaks are done and browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In a clean pan (or the same pan after wiping it clean), add the sliced baby bella mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms over medium heat until they are tender and have released their moisture.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the tender mushrooms in the pan. Cook this mixture, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until the raw flour smell dissipates and the roux turns a light golden color.

Slowly add 3 cups of water to the pan, whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming. Continue to whisk until the sauce starts to thicken.

Crumble in the 2 Knorr beef cubes. Add 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce for color and depth of flavor. Season with black pepper to taste and a little MSG for an umami boost. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Continue to simmer the gravy, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired thickness. If it becomes too thick, you can add a splash more water.

To serve, place the cooked burger patties on a plate, alongside a generous portion of cooked rice. Pour the hot mushroom gravy generously over the burger steaks and rice. Enjoy!
