Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Hawaiian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 4 eggs
- Brown gravy, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into oval-shaped patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for food safety.
- While the patties are cooking, prepare the rice by warming the pre-cooked rice and dividing it evenly among 4 serving plates.
- In a separate pan, fry 4 eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, ensuring the yolks remain runny.
- Place a cooked Hamburg steak patty on top of the rice for each serving.
- Carefully place a fried egg on top of each Hamburg steak patty.
- Generously pour warm brown gravy over the entire dish, allowing it to cascade over the egg and patty.
- Serve immediately while hot, ensuring the egg yolk is still soft and can mix with the gravy when cut.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh onions and quality ground beef. Fresh ingredients can significantly enhance the taste of your dish.
- Don’t Skip the Indentation: Creating a slight indentation in the center of your patties helps them cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up while frying.
- Perfectly Cooked Eggs: For that classic Loco Moco look, fry your eggs sunny-side up and keep the yolks runny. This adds a creamy texture when mixed with the gravy!
- Customize Your Gravy: Feel free to jazz up your brown gravy with additional seasonings or even sautéed mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve Hot: This dish is best enjoyed immediately after cooking. The combination of warm rice, juicy beef, and runny egg is simply irresistible when served fresh!
