Instructions

Cook the Rice:

  • Combine the rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and cook for 15 minutes. Rest off the heat for 10 minutes, then fluff.

Cook the Patties:

  • Mix the beef, grated onion, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper just until combined. Shape into four wide patties.
  • Cook in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked to preference. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Make the Gravy:

  • Melt the butter in the same skillet. Cook the mushrooms and sliced onion for 7 to 8 minutes until browned.
  • Stir in the flour for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the stock, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until glossy and thickened.

Fry and Serve:

  • Heat the oil in a clean skillet and fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.
  • Divide the rice among plates, top with patties, gravy, and fried eggs, and add macaroni salad on the side.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the beef or the patties may become dense.
  • For food safety, cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
