Ingredients
Burgers
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp panko bread crumbs
Gravy
- 1 sweet onion sliced
- 8 oz crimini mushrooms sliced
- 1.5 cups beef stock
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce

Other
- 1 cup cooked rice

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the burgers until well-combined and form 4 patties. Place in freezer for a few minutes.
- Saute the onions and mushrooms in a pan on medium heat with olive oil. Set aside once golden, about 5-8 minutes.
- Using a cast iron grill pan (or barbecue), grill the burgers until no red is visible. Set aside
- Prepare the gravy by heating up the beef stock, ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and red pepper flakes in a pan on medium heat and let reduce for about 3 minutes. Combine 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and stir until it forms a thick slurry. Pour into the gravy and stir until combined. Now add the cooked mushrooms and onions to the gravy and heat for another minute.
- Fry all four eggs, keeping the yolks runny.
- Construct the loco moco by placing rice in a circle on a plate, followed by the patty, then the gravy, then an egg, and finally, top with some sliced green onions and black pepper. Serve warm.
