Ingredients

For the patties:

2 teaspoons vegetable oil or avocado oil
1 pound ground beef 80/20
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 large egg

For the gravy:

2 Tablespoons salted butter
¼ small sweet onion about ⅓ cup
⅓ cup baby bella mushrooms
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
2 Tablespoons soy sauce

To assemble:

3 cups long grain white rice cooked
4 eggs fried or sunny side up
Sliced green onions optional garnish

Instructions

For the patties:

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the oil.
To a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and egg. Mix until just combined.
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty.
Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty. This will keep the patties flat while cooking.
Place the patties into the skillet and cook them for about 3 minutes on each side and then remove them from the pan and set aside.

For the gravy:

In the same skillet that you cooked the patties in, lower the heat to medium and add the butter along with the onion and mushrooms. Saute for about 6-8 minutes or until soft.
Sprinkle the vegetables with flour and cook for another 2 minutes to cook off the raw taste of the flour.
Add the beef broth and soy sauce and stir together for 1-2 minutes until you have a beautiful, smooth gravy.

To assemble:

In the center of your serving plate, add about a cup of rice.
Top the rice with your patty and a generous portion of the gravy.
Add a fried egg to the top of your patty and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve right away.
