Loco Moco
Loco Moco is a really simple dish. Although there are probably many variations - traditionally, it consists of steamed white rice, a hamburger patty, a sunny-side up egg and lots of brown gravy!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- Steamed white rice enough for 4 servings
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can low-sodium beef broth 14-15 oz.
- a shake or two of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare your rice according to the package directions.
- Shape the ground beef into 4 equal-sized patties. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and place the patties in the pan. Let the patties sear for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip them over and let them continue to cook until the meat is no longer pink - about 3-4 minutes. Remove the patties from the pan and set aside. Keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the broth. Cook over medium-high heat until hot. Stir the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Add to the pan. Bring to a boil - constantly stirring with a whisk - and boil for 1 minute or until thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Meanwhile, prepare the eggs your favorite way. Traditionally, a sunny-side-up egg is served.
- To serve, place a portion of rice on each of the four plates. Top each plate with a burger patty, an egg, and some of the gravy.
Notes
- This is a great meal to stretch out your meat. Adding eggs helps fill them up.
- Serve over pasta instead of rice if preferred.
