Ingredients
- 2 cups white rice uncooked
- 2 cups water
- 1 lb Certified Angus Beef® brand ground beef
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Cook rice: Rinse the rice under cool water. Place the rinsed rice and 2 cups water in a rice cooker and cook.
- Season: Shape the ground beef into four patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook: Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties. Sear for 4 minutes. Flip. Cook for 4 more minutes. Remove the patties and set aside.
- Make roux: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the flour to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Finish gravy: Add 1/2 cup beef broth to the skillet, and stir to combine. Add the remaining beef broth and soy sauce. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fry eggs: In another skillet, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium-high high. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are cooked through. The yolks should remain runny.
- Plate: Place a large circle cookie cutter on a plate. Fill with a spoonful of rice. Remove the cookie cutter. Place a cooked patty on top of the rice. Spoon on a ladle of gravy. Top with a cooked egg, and garnish with green onions.
