Ingredients

For the Beef Patty:

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking oil or butter

Rice:

  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Gravy:

  • 1 cup beef broth

Topping:

  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Patty: Shape the ground beef into four equal-sized patties. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat with cooking oil or butter. Cook each patty until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, add beef broth and bring to a simmer. Whisk together flour and a small amount of cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the broth along with soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Fry the Eggs: In a separate skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry eggs sunny-side up or over-easy to your preference.

  5. Assemble the Dish: Place a scoop of rice on each plate, top with a beef patty, ladle gravy over, and finish with a fried egg.
