Burger Patty

1 pound Ground beef

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1/2 tsp Onion powder

Rice

1 cup White rice

2 cups Water

Fried Egg

2 large Eggs

1 tbs Butter

Brown Gravy

2 tbs Butter

2 tbs 00 bread flour

2 cups Beef broth

1 tbs Aged soy sauce

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

Mix and Shape

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined, then form into one large patty or two smaller patties.

Grill the Patty

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest.

Cooking the Rice

Rinse and Cook

Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Frying the Eggs

Cook the Eggs

In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. For a firmer yolk, cook for an additional minute.

Making the Brown Gravy

Prepare the Roux

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, stirring continuously.

Add Broth

Gradually whisk in the beef broth to the roux, ensuring there are no lumps. Add soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.

Assembling the Dish

Layer the Ingredients

In a bowl or plate, start by placing a serving of rice, then add the grilled burger patty on top. Carefully place the fried egg over the patty and generously drizzle with brown gravy.

Serve

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Loco Moco!
