German translation:Rinderbulette, "Deutsches Beefsteak"
Explanation:
If it is kind of a hamburger made of beef, I'd call it a
Rinderbulette. Or is it raw? Then it would be a "Deutsches Beefsteak" in German.

Hackbraten - Tatar - Hacksteak


Explanation:
"Beef cake" is the male version of "cheese cake". If that is new for you, it means pretty boys ("Beef cake") or pretty girls ("cheese cake") photographed without much clothing.

"Beefcake" is also a character from "South Park" but I suppose you mean something to eat.

Here is one beef cake version, where it seems to be slightly heated Tatar with rice and an egg:

Here is another where is seems to be meatloaf = "Hackbraten" or "Hacksteak"

Luzie's "Rinderbulette" & "Deutsches Beefsteak" also sound good.

It probably depends on the pub, but in general, people west of the English Channel do not eat much raw meat, so I would chose "Hackbraten".
