Method

Rice Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse 2 cups of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Beef Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Hamburger Steak

    In a bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two patties. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 3

    Cook the Onions

    In the same skillet, add a sliced medium onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Gravy Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Gravy

    In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of beef broth to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering broth along with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and cook until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Egg Preparation

  1. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate frying pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Crack 2 eggs into the pan and fry to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side-up. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Loco Moco

    On a plate, place a scoop of cooked rice, followed by a hamburger steak patty, then top with sautéed onions. Pour the thick brown gravy over the top and finish with a fried egg. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
