Loco Moco

Ingredients

• 12 oz ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups cooked white rice, hot
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1½ cups beef stock
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 scallions, sliced

Method

1. Shape the beef into 2 wide, thin patties and season with salt and pepper. Sear hard in a skillet, 3 minutes per side, to 160°F (71°C); set aside.
2. Cook the onion in the same pan with the butter until golden, then sprinkle in the flour and stir 1 minute.
3. Whisk in the stock, soy, and Worcestershire, scraping up every browned bit, and simmer until the gravy thickens enough to nap a spoon.
4. Fry the eggs sunny side up — whites set, yolks loose enough to become part of the gravy situation.
5. Build each bowl: hot rice, patty, a flood of gravy, egg on the summit, scallions over everything.
