Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

2 cups beef stock

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups steamed white rice (for serving)

4 large eggs (for frying)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying patties and eggs)

Instructions

Make the beef patties: Divide the ground beef into 4 portions and shape into patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Cook the beef patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Make the gravy: In the same skillet, add beef stock, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape up any browned bits and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken. Optionally, make a slurry with cornstarch and water to thicken further. Season with salt and pepper.

Fry the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a separate pan. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry sunny-side-up until the whites are set, leaving the yolks runny. Flip if you prefer over-easy eggs.

Assemble the Loco Moco: Place a scoop of steamed rice on each plate, top with a beef patty, pour over the gravy, and finish with a fried egg on top.

Serve: Enjoy your delicious Loco Moco hot!
