Beef Patty

Rice

Egg

Garnish

Method

Prepare the Beef Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the beef mixture into a round patty, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

Cook the Rice

  1. 4

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 5

    Cook the Rice

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

Make the Gravy

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the hoisin sauce and beef broth over medium heat. Stir to combine.

  2. 7

    Thicken the Gravy

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Stir in sesame oil, then remove from heat.

Cook the Egg

  1. 8

    Prepare the Egg

    In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (fried, scrambled, etc.). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 9

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a plate, start with a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Top with the cooked beef patty, and pour the hoisin gravy over it.

  2. 10

    Finish with Egg and Garnish

    Place the cooked egg on top of the patty, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
