Ingredients

1/2 cups butter

1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 1/2 cups beef stock

1 1/2 cups chicken stock

2 tablespoons ketchup plus more for serving

1 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

2 slices white bread crusts removed and torn

5 large Eggs

2 tablespoons soy sauce plus more for serving

1 tablespoons garlic powder

1 large sweet onion chopped

2 cups rice cooked and kept warm


Directions

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns golden brown, about 8 minutes. Pour the beef stock, the chicken stock, the ketchup, Dijon, and Worcestershire into the flour mixture, whisking to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking frequently. Reduce the heat and simmer the gravy until it thickens and reduces slightly, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and a lot of ground black pepper. Keep warm. 2. Put the bread pieces in a medium bowl. Add enough water to make a paste, about 2 tablespoons. Add the ground beef, 1 egg, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly. Form the mixture into 4 patties. 3. Cook the patties and onions in a large skillet over medium heat until the patties are medium rare, flipping once, about 8 minutes total. 4. While the patties are cooking, cook one egg per person to specifications. 5. Spoon rice into soup bowls. Top each bowl of rice with a patty, some of the onions, the gravy and a cooked egg. Serve with additional ketchup and soy sauce.

This is a really great interpretation of the loco moco. What really makes this recipe shine is the fantastic and simple gravy. I've used these exact ingredients for gravy before, but the ratios here are add a perfect blend of meaty flavor with a nice velvet texture. I am going to have to experiment and improve my own loco moco recipe now!
