Description

A comforting bowl of Loco Moco featuring ground beef, rice, sunny-side-up eggs, and a savory gravy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 4 eggs (fried sunny-side-up)
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Butter (1–2 tbsp) (optional)
  • Mushrooms, sliced and sautéed (optional)
  • A splash of toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • Pickled vegetables or kimchi (optional)
  • Chili flakes or hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, season 2 lbs of ground beef with salt and pepper, adding optional onion and garlic. Mix gently and divide into four patties.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook patties for 3–5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and tent with foil.
  3. In the same skillet, whisk cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry. Add beef stock, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Stir in the slurry to thicken the gravy.
  4. In a separate nonstick skillet, cook eggs sunny-side-up in butter or oil until whites are set and yolks are runny.
  5. Assemble the dish by placing cooked rice on a plate, topping with a beef patty, spooning gravy over it, and adding a fried egg. Garnish with green onions.

Notes

For best results, keep rice warm and season components at every step for optimal flavor.
