Instructions

mushroom gravy
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add 2 tablespoons butter to a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt remaining butter into the mixture. Sprinkle with flour and whisk together.
  3. Lower heat to medium and stir in stock. Continue to stir until no lumps remain and gravy has thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
hamburger patties
  1. Place ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper into a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix together.
  3. Form 2 even (4 ounce) patties.
  4. Pour oil into a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add burger patties and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook burgers until medium doneness, an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
fried eggs
  1. In another skillet, add oil and place over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add eggs and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until whites have set and edges are crisp. Remove from heat.
assembly
  1. Divide rice between two plates and top each with a burger patty. Top with a ladle of gravy, a fried egg, and another ladle of gravy.
  2. Finish each dish with a sprinkle of furikake seasoning and sliced chives. Serve.

Notes

  • Tips and Tricks for Success
  • Prep ingredients ahead of time to save on time when cooking. I always try to prep as much ahead of time as I can, when I cook. For this recipe you can slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic up to 2 days ahead of time and form the burger patties up to 12 hours ahead of time.
  • Use beef stock instead of chicken stock if you want a richer, more traditional gravy.
  • Add the egg to a hot pan to get a nice, crispy crust around the edge and to set the whites while maintaining a runny yolk.
