Loco Moco

Ingredients

Patty

  • 1 Lb Lean Ground Beef – 4 (4 Oz) Patties
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Salt

Gravy

  • 8 Oz Baby Bella Mushrooms – Sliced
  • 1/2 Large Onion – Sliced
  • 3 Tbs Butter – Unsalted
  • 3 Tbs Flour
  • 3 Cups Beef Broth
  • 1 1/2 Tbs Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tsp Worcestershire
  • 1 Tbs Olive Oil

Rice

  • 4 Cups Cooked White Rice

Eggs

  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Tbs Olive Oil

Directions

  1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal sized patties and press them out, almost smashed. Season the patties well on both sides with the garlic and onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
  2. In a large high-sided sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the mushrooms and onions. Sauté until the mushrooms are cooked and the onions become translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Add the butter and stir.
  3. Once the butter has melted add the flour, stir, and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to get as much of the flour taste out of the gravy.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer between 14 and 16 minutes. The gravy will start to thicken.
  5. While the gravy thickens, heat a cast iron pan or another pan on medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and cook the patties two at a time if you have room. Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, you want to get a good sear on each side. Cook through to at least 160 degrees or there is no more pink.
  6. Remove the patties, spray with additional cooking spray or butter, and cook your 4 eggs, sunny-side up, in the same pan. NOTE: You can add your patties to the gravy to keep them warm as you finish cooking the patties and the eggs.
  7. To cook your eggs, warm 1 Tbs of olive oil over low heat. Crack your eggs into the pan, if you can fit all four, go for it, if not add more olive oil for each instance. Cover the eggs and cook until the whites set. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
  8. Build your loco moco starting with 1 Cup of cooked white rice. Top with the patty and then add the gravy. Finish off with a nice sunny-side egg on the top. Enjoy!

  3. Once the beef is browned, add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  4. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30. Stir 2 to 3 times while it simmers.

NOTE: If you use a crock pot, after step 2, add everything into the crock pot and stir to combine well. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. You can also cook the Taco meat the day before and keep it in the refrigerator before using.
