Ingredients
- BEEF PATTIES:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- GRAVY:
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 3 cups beef stock
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- TO SERVE:
- 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
- 4 large eggs, room temperature, divided
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Directions
- To make the patties, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Divide mixture into fourths; shape each portion into a 1-inch-thick burger patty. Press thumb into the center of each patty to create an indentation.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; place burgers in the hot pan, 2 in. apart. Cook burgers 4-5 minutes; flip, reduce heat to medium. Cook another 4-5 minutes or until internal temperature of burgers reaches 160°. Remove to a plate; cover to keep warm.
- Pour excess grease from the pan; discard grease. Return pan to the burner over medium heat. To make gravy, add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add onion. Cook, scraping up the browned bits from the pan, 4-5 minutes or until soft. Pour in beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high; bring sauce to a simmer, 4-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and cold water until dissolved; add mixture to the sauce. Whisk constantly for 2-3 minutes or until gravy has thickened. Remove pan from heat.
- To make the sunny-side up eggs, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a small, nonstick skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, crack an egg into the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes or until whites are set and yolk is still runny. Transfer egg to a plate. Repeat these steps to cook remaining eggs.
- To serve, place 1 cup cooked white rice in 4 bowls. Top each with a cooked burger patty and a generous amount of gravy. Place a sunny-side up egg on top of each. Garnish with chopped green onion. Serve immediately.
