Ingredients
Beef Patty
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ yellow onion finely diced
- ½ tbsp salt
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- ½ tbsp black pepper
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
Gravy
- ½ yellow onion sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 4 cremini mushrooms
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp msg
To Complete
- 5 fried sunny side up eggs
- cooked white rice
- sliced green onion optional
Recipe Instructions
For the Beef Patties
- Gently combine all the beef patty ingredients in a medium sized bowl until well combined. (Don't overmix or it can make them tough).
- Using your hands, form the meat into even 1 inch thick patties. Set aside on a plate.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add patties so they don't touch each other (you may have to cook in a couple of batches). Cook 5 minutes each side, or until desired doneness.
For the Gravy
- Add the butter, mushrooms, and onion to the hot pan. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Next, add flour, stir to incorporate and cook for a minute. Slowly add your beef broth, stirring frequently. Season with both soy sauces and msg. Bring to a low boil and reduce the heat to simmer. Stir frequently. Taste and season as needed. After several minutes, it should have thickened.
- To assemble, spoon a layer of rice onto a plate, followed by a patty, topped with gravy, and finished with the sunny side up egg. Garnish with green onion if desired.
