My goal at THEE BURGER DUDE is to show vegans and non-vegans alike how easy it is to make delicious and decadent vegan meals. I used to eat a lot of meat and dairy before going vegan, so this channel is aimed at people like myself before going vegan. Additionally, I totally welcome any vegans who might be missing one of their favorite fast food or comfort food meals as well, come on in! I want to show that you can still have burgers, mac n' cheese, fried chick’n and any other kind of comfort food, and that it’s possible with plant-based ingredients.
If you’re new to veganism and don’t know where to start, or if you’re totally new to cooking, or new to both, then I hope you find something on this site that piques your interest and are inspired to cook! And if you have any questions please contact me!

My white country gravy I have perfected by using half almond milk and half Better than Bouillon no chicken base. It gives it that “meaty” flavor that is soooo good!!!

[@VEGGIEIB]

Thankyou for Sharing with us friend!

[@mediafreak5923]

I prefer cooking with oat milk over almond milk

[@justanotherconnoisuer]

Ahaha I love that I found you not long after going vegan! Makes cooking so much easier and give me inspiration to keep trying to veganize my own cultures foods

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Awesome, welcome aboard!

[@mykull666]

My favorite way to eat chicken fried steak is on a buttermilk biscuit, with scrambled egg, cheddar or American cheese, and mustard. I've been using seitan, just egg and vegan cheese to veganize it, but I'm gonna try this. I used to get a steak, egg, and cheese and a chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit from Hardees in Virginia a few times a week.

[@jamlym4974]

This is the perfect channel for someone who's vegan but also loves good old American food. Like myself.

[@MrSkotty1992]

When making country/southern gravy brown your roux! It adds so much flavor. Tomato would be great on the sandwich as well. Tomatoes go really well with white gravy.

[@soniajacobs3038]

I like browned gravy, but not on country fried steak or biscuits; then it’s gotta be white!

[@MrSkotty1992]

@@soniajacobs3038 the gravy is still white, just more flavorful

[@millionhairs]

@@MrSkotty1992 Exactly! You're just browning the roux to cook more for better flavor. It will still be white after the milk is added in.

[@Oonagh72]

When I was little girl and I ate meat there was this malt stand we would eat at on occasion. They had the best chicken fried steak sandwich. I can’t remember why I ordered it. I was like 8, and my mother never made chicken fried steak. It was so good. I have never found the same seasonings, and it had a perfect crunch. It didn’t have gravy. It was dressed like a hamburger. This video is making me nostalgic!

[@samuelsmith7084]

Saving this one. This was one of my favorite foods

[@ataramusette2357]

For my gravy, I usually make a rue then pour it into a pan, it easier to avoid all the clumps in my little smeagol opinion.

That sauce...reminds me of t his old-style dish my mom used to make when we were kids -- it was a creamy sauce like that with tuna! Anyone recall that?!? I don't know if it has a name, but I loved it. I realized, even at the time it was a bit odd; but it was so good. And was never a dairy person, but that thick cream sauce was so good. It was served on toast and I, too, had to have loads of black pepper!

[@beauschneider6848]

Chicken fried steak is something i miss sometimes as a vegan. When i lived in Chicago the Chicago diner had a vegan chicken fried steak. Can't wait to try this! I will recomment when i make it. You know what else i miss though that i still haven't found a good replacement for? Vegan sour cream. No joke i used to buy tubs of it. Lol

I do have one question why do you put jack fruit in it?

Breaks up the texture and makes it a bit more steak like

[@R.Williamss]

Its good with mash potatoes mix veggies and corn-- and cabbage.

[@mattvond3814]

Pickles-YES!!!!

[@barbara-holley]

Hey man the recipe looks bad ass!!! The only thing I would suggest doing is using some of the frying oil from the vegan fried meat, or adding some spices to the butter or using an infused oil for giving more umph to the gravy. Other from that, I can not wait to try this recipe! I think the texture using the jack fruit and the ground beef will be spot on.

Do biscuit n sausage gravy too

[@millionhairs]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe!!! I'm curious to try something: I wonder if I prepared this exact recipe but left off the gravy, added some sauteed onions, and put it on a biscuit would I replicate the McDonald's steak biscuits that were so delicious when I ate meat? Could possibly make them smaller for that purpose, too. Do you think that would work?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I think that all sounds like a good plan!

[@mystyrain2000]

Looks delicious thank you for sharing. Though is there something else you can use in this one instead of jack fruit mixed with the meat? Have an allergic reaction to certain sweeteners and fruits and Jack fruit is on that list of allergies. Was so happy to see this one till heard Jack fruit. Thank you for all the awesome recipes though.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I don't know of any especially for country gravy, sorry!

[@_DRMR_]

I couldn't resist and had make this. Never did a dry/wet batter of anything .. and then steak? oh boy! We used the Beyond Meat `minced meat`, slightly less than a pound, with a can of jackfruit. It was a bit tricky to do the battering without the steak/burger breaking apart, first one started tearing up while moving it to the deep-fry. Once it's in the oil everything sticks together nicely though. I think next time I'll put the mixture in the fridge first for half an hour or so, then form bit thicker and firmer patties, then freeze them up a tad longer than I did now, before doing the batter routine. The Beyond Meat is a bit overwhelming taste, so I may look for a less prominently flavored minced meat to use. The occasional jackfruit bite was still present, but the balance was a bit off I think. Other flavorings didn't add too much in the end, barely tasted the smoked paprika for instance. As the plant-based milk we used pea milk, but even the unsweetened version was still quite sweet tasting and a tad overwhelming, especially in the sauce, so will try maybe rice-milk or something next time. The combination of everything was very nice though, great recipe and I'd also really recommend those pickles! We still have 2 patties left, so tomorrow we'll do a second round. ;)

[@_DRMR_]

Those 2 patties where in the freezer overnight so frozen solid and it was so much easier to handle them! In the end just as good a result, so would definitely recommend to freeze up the steaks before using them. Some pics of yesterday and today's meal: imgur.com/a/8c7b4dy

Can you make this with only jackfruit but the same seasonings and everything? If not is there something else I should add to get a different texture?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

It likely won’t hold together. You could make it with seitan? Check out my McRib video for something like that.

[@normalperson397]

For the plant based milk, soy milk is recommended? Maybe it's a little too sweet for it (at least the one I use I guess)

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I always use ripple unsweetened, unsweetened soy SHOULD work, but I've never personally used it.

[@mrdankhimself]

After forming the steaks, would that be a good time to freeze for long-term storage? I am flush with Impossible meat and jackfruit right now.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Yes!

[@dmv1955]

[@melanieforsythe8904]

Does it matter what kind of jackfruit you use? The store I go to doesn't have the canned kind but it has upton's unseasoned young jackfruit in the cooler section. Would it still need to be steamed?

As long as it's not the jackfruit in syrup it should be fine! I'm not sure about steaming the upton's stuff, but I would do it to be safe!

As an Australian, I am thoroughly confused by this "chicken-fried" business. To be clear, I know what it means, but in Australian (our national language) we call it "crumbed" or "battered." Bless your heart, America, you weirdos.

[@soniajacobs3038]

@Angela Lee “chicken fried” is different from battered or crumbed. We batter onion rings, etc., and use crumbs as a top coat when frying some things. “Chicken fried” indicates heavy seasoning in the coating, as in the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Colonel’s “11 herbs and spices.” But you are correct in that we are weird.
