Method

Preparing the Chuck Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Patty Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 4

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Frying the Eggs

  1. 6

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

  2. 7

    Fry the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side up.

Making the Gravy

  1. 8

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until it turns golden brown.

  2. 9

    Add the Broth

    Slowly add the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 10

    Season the Gravy

    Add soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Assembling the Loco Moco

  1. 11

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, place two scoops of steamed rice, top with the cooked chuck patty, then add the fried eggs on top.

  2. 12

    Pour the Gravy

    Generously pour the gravy over the entire dish, covering the rice, patty, and eggs.

  3. 13

    Serve

    Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Cronies Loco Moco!
