Servings:
Ingredients
- 2 servings steamed white rice
- 2 sunny side up eggs
- Green onion, chopped finely
Patties
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.9 lb (400 gr) ground beef
- 1/2 small onion, minced finely
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mushroom Gravy
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 small onion, diced finely
- 5 mushrooms, sliced thinly
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) beef stock
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- salt, to taste
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tbsp water
Instructions
Patties
- In a big bowl, mix the ground beef, onion, salt, and pepper until well combined. Form 2 big patties or 4 medium patties. Season one side of the patties with more salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat and gently place the patties down, seasoned side down. Indent the center of each patty because the center of patties will rise with the heat. Cover the pan with a lid to seal the moisture. Cook 4-5 minutes each side or until every side is well browned. Remove the burgers. Set aside.
Mushroom Gravy
- Add butter to the pan with the drippings. Add onion and mushrooms until golden brown for about 5 minutes. Add the beef broth and cook until boil. Season with Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and salt. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour the cornstarch slurry to the pan and cook until the gravy thickens. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Assemble
- To serve, place a serving of cooked rice on a plate. Place a burger on top. Pour the mushroom gravy on top of the burger. Then, top it with a sunny side up egg. Garnish with green onion if desired.
