Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup brown gravy (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Prepare 2 cups of white rice according to the package instructions, then let it steam to achieve a fluffy texture.
- Cook the Beef Patties: Shape the ground beef into two equal-sized patties. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.
- Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet, carefully crack the eggs and fry them sunny-side up, allowing the whites to set while keeping the yolks runny.
- Prepare the Gravy: If using homemade brown gravy, prepare it now; if store-bought, warm it up gently on the stove or microwave.
- Assemble the Loco Moco: To assemble, place a serving of cooked rice on each plate. Top each rice portion with a beef patty, followed by a sunny-side-up egg. Finally, generously pour the warm brown gravy over the entire dish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef if you prefer a less greasy patty.
- For extra flavor, season patties with salt and pepper before cooking.
- Brown gravy can be enhanced with sautéed mushrooms or onions.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or salad for a balanced meal.
- You can substitute white rice with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier option.
