Ingredients
For the patties:
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or avocado oil
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
For the gravy:
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- ¼ small sweet onion about ⅓ cup
- ⅓ cup baby bella mushrooms
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
To assemble:
- 3 cups long grain white rice cooked
- 4 eggs fried or sunny side up
- sliced green onions optional garnish
Instructions
For the patties:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the oil.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and egg. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty.
- Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty. This will keep the patties flat while cooking.
- Place the patties into the skillet and cook them for about 3 minutes on each side and then remove them from the pan and set aside.
Cup of Yum
For the gravy:
- In the same skillet that you cooked the patties in, lower the heat to medium and add the butter along with the onion and mushrooms. Saute for about 6-8 minutes or until soft.
- Sprinkle the vegetables with flour and cook for another 2 minutes to cook off the raw taste of the flour.
- Add the beef broth and soy sauce and stir together for 1-2 minutes until you have a beautiful, smooth gravy.
To assemble:
- In the center of your serving plate, add about a cup of rice.
- Top the rice with your patty and a generous portion of the gravy.
- Add a fried egg to the top of your patty and garnish with sliced green onions.
- Serve right away.
