Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need:
- 4 Hoagland Meat ground beef patties
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 4 large eggs
- 4 cups steamed white rice
- Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Patties: Season Hoagland Meat ground beef patties with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the patties and set them aside.
-
Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Stir in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture until the gravy thickens. Reduce heat and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Cook the Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, cook the eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, depending on your preference.
-
Assemble the Dish: To serve, place a scoop of steamed rice on each plate. Top with a beef patty, then a fried egg. Generously ladle the gravy over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Pro Tips for the Best Loco Moco
- Rice Matters: Use freshly steamed rice for the best texture. If you have leftover rice, warm it up with a splash of water to rehydrate it.
- Gravy Goodness: If you like your gravy extra thick, add a bit more cornstarch mixture. Prefer it thinner? Use a bit more beef broth.
- Egg Perfection: A runny yolk adds richness to the dish, but if you prefer your eggs more cooked, go for it! It’s all about personal preference.
