Korean hamburger steak is not a burger without a bun. It is a saucy rice-plate meal built around a thick, tender meat patty. In Korea, you may also see it called hambak steak, hambagu steak, or hamburger steak. The names can vary, but the idea is the same: a soft, browned meat patty served with sauce, rice, egg, cabbage salad, pickles, kimchi, or banchan.
