Chef’s notes
For the best flavor, use 80/20 ground chuck beef. You can also customize the patties and add optional ingredients like mushrooms and onions for extra taste.

- 🍽️ Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 medium sized sweet onion (optional)
- 3/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- green onions for garnishing
- cooked rice
- 1 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cup beef stock
- 4 tsp shoyu (soy sauce)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp ketchup
- 5 tsp cornstarch
Directions
- Mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large bowl.
- Form the mixture into patties, making them slightly larger than desired as they will shrink when cooked.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and fry each side of the patties for about 3-5 minutes or until well done.
- Set each finished patty on a plate lined with paper towel to catch any extra grease.
- For the gravy, mix together the beef stock, shoyu, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch, whisking until smooth.
- In the same pan, melt one tablespoon of butter to caramelize the onions for about a minute, then fry the mushrooms for another minute or two.
- Melt the remaining butter and add the gravy mix to the pan, stirring until it thickens and simmers.
- In a separate pan, melt a slice of butter and cook a sunny side up egg.
- To assemble, scoop a generous serving of hot white rice on a plate, layer it with a hamburger patty, drizzle on the gravy, top with the egg, and garnish with green onions.
