Homemade Burger Steak With Mushroom Gravy

No burger steak is complete without delicious gravy added. But by adding adding a simple ingredient, you can still get the nutrition you need once you pour the gravy onto your burger steak.

How? With the help of mushrooms, of course! Mushrooms are known for their purported health benefits.

Mushrooms are believed to strengthen your immune system. This is due to a sugar called beta-glucan, which is found in the cell walls of fungi. Mushrooms can also help lower cholesterol levels because they contain fibers such as chitin and beta-glucan.  

Also, mushrooms are high in vitamin D when they get exposed to sunlight during their growth. Vitamin D is important since it aids the body in absorbing calcium, promoting bone growth.
