Plate lunch aficionados, those people that are always eating lunch at the best and most tastiest restaurants, or counters, or lunch trucks know what makes a Hamburger Steak Plate Rock! And here are some testimonies from my fans of this blog.
Jason (Kihei) Bradda, what makes a good Hamburger Steak Plate is the hamburger quality, the seasonings, the gravy, the rice, the mac salad. The hamburger needs to be of good quality beef, a good grade of ground Chuck, with some fat. And it has to be mixed well, really moist, maybe some minced onions, and some good amount of onion and garlic powder, just enough salt and pepper, some eggs, and steak sauce just to give it flavor. And the patties, has to break apart with a fork. The gravy can't be package kine, no way bradda, they have to have some beef stock or broth around and make the gravy from drippings of beef, so it tastes fresh. Rice needs to be sticky, mac salad has to be just right, some celery, onions, carrots, crab meat even. But the Hamburger Steak needs to be tasty without the gravy, if you bite into a hamburger steak it has to have flavor without the gravy.
Kanani (Waihee) Ron... I don't know who makes a better Hamburger Steak out there, seriously my grandma makes it da bess! She uses ground Chuck, and she marinates the ground beef over night. The secret is the amount of these ingredients, but she uses, salt and pepper, soy sauce, minced green onions, eggs, sour cream, mayonnaise, and yellow mustard, and some steak sauce. Then when she is ready to form the patties, she uses some panko flakes, and she fries it up in a stainless steel pan, and then she uses the drippings from the pan to make a gravy, the gravy is the bomb! Her mac salad has lots of either tuna or crab meat and potatoes, and some other veggies, green peas mostly, her mac salad can be a meal in itself!
Larson (Portland) Bradda Ron, I miss watching your kick ass shows on Akaku, but I tell you what makes one good Hamburger Steak is the meat, got to have quality good kine ground beef, my papa used to grind sirloin from some fresh Maui cattle bradda, and was nuts, the meat was kind of lean but was good with some marbling, but what my papa used to do was put soy sauce, salt and pepper, mayo, minced onions, and some celery salt and oyster sauce. And he would put those suckers on the pan fry em up, and use the pan for make the gravy. He made fried rice with that, and the only thing was papa never made mac salad, he hated macaroni for some reason, so he made potato salad, was ono. I went to culinary school for about 2 years, and learned all the fu fu kine stuffs, but if I was to open one restaurant, cuz would be choke local kine grines, for sure papa's Hamburger Steaks would be on the menu.
Penny (Anaheim) Bradda Ron, a great Hamburger Steak is simple, no herbs, no spices nothin bradda, just some salt and pepper, maybe garlic powder, eggs, ketchup, and Best Foods Real Mayonnaise cuz, if you put mayonnaise in the mix, it makes it really moist, and you gotta smash it on the pan real hot, so it thins out, so it breaks apart easy with a fork when you eat em... hoooooo yeah bradda!
Bradda Boy (Planet Earth) Bradda Ronnnnieeeee!!!! You guys jam on Akaku cuzin but man, here's my take on a great Hamburger Steak Plate. The beef gotta have flavor, I no care where I go buy em, gotta break easy when I hit it with the fork, and the gravy bettah not be package kine! The mac salad has to have moisture man! Mayonnaise cuz, it's all about da Mayo in da mac salad!
Jenna (Central Maui) My husband scolds me when I make the hamburger patties too hard and too thick. He wants it to be moist, and falls apart when he eats it, he doesn't want anything in the mix except some steak sauce, mayo, shoyu, eggs, salt and pepper and panko crumbs, that's it. For the gravy he doesn't mind me using some canned beef broth and stir it up with drippings from the pan I fried the hamburger in. The rice has to be sticky, and the mac salad needs to have crab meat and green peas, and lots of mayonnaise, we go through mayonnaise like crazy in our house, he even puts mayo on his rice believe it or not.
Okay so now you got an idea on what some peeps feel about the famous plate lunch item called Hamburger Steak... it's all about taste, and has to be freshly made, especially the gravy, no package kine cuz! And the mac salad? it has to have some flavor too, it has to be moist, has to have Best Foods Mayonnaise... That's a no brainer for all locals here in Hawaii are mayo lovers, mayo is a condiment that is in every local's kitchen. One would not think to put mayonnaise in a hamburger mix, but it's done, and that makes it rock, steak sauce too, mustard was another. Well, go figure it out, there's all kinds of great recipes. Maybe grind your own Chuck or sirloin? All about freshness it seems... well of course it is... and if you want to open up a local plate lunch dig, you better not cut corners, you can't fool local eaters, they know when they're being screwed, they know what foods should be like, yes sir, yes mam, use quality ingredients, use fresh stuff and you'll be fine. More on the subject later.
