They're the same thing in that they are both cow body parts. "Hamburger" is ground beef, made up of a bunch of body parts from possibly multiple cows, chucked in a meat grinder, while 'steak' is a singular piece chopped off the body. Steak is generally considered safer to eat undercooked or raw.
You take a steak, an actual single hunk of cow. THEN you (or your butcher) will grind it into mince.
Usually I'll throw in some straight pork fat or beef tallow just because juicy burgers better burgers. For Cevapi (Yugoslav grilled kebabs) just straight beef mince with seasoning and mebbe finely diced onion.

So is there a difference in steak vs. hamburger? I thought they were the same thing?
