Instructions
- Mix ground beef, onion, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs just until combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
- Cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until lightly golden.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps.
- Stir in soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, then simmer 4–6 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper.
- Fry the eggs sunny-side-up or over-easy.
- Scoop rice onto plates, place a patty on top, pour gravy over it, and finish with a fried egg.
- Add sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the beef to keep patties tender.
80/20 beef gives the juiciest results.
Simmer the gravy gently—if too thick, add a splash of broth.
Eggs are best cooked last so the yolk stays warm and runny.
