Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Servings: 4

Equipment:

- Large bowl

- Frying pan

- Medium-sized bowl

- Paper towels

- Medium-sized pan

Cooking Instructions:

1. Start by making the patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well by hand or use disposable gloves for a mess-free process.

2. Form the patties by taking a handful of the meat mixture, rolling it into a ball, and then flattening it to about 1 inch in thickness. Aim to make the patties somewhat larger as they will shrink upon cooking.

3. Prep the gravy by whisking together beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl. Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved, and set the mixture aside.

4. In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the patties for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. You can grill them for a smokier flavor if desired.

5. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

6. Optional step for onion and mushroom gravy: In the same pan, melt a tablespoon of butter and sauté the thinly sliced onions until they become opaque. Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional few minutes, allowing both to soften.

7. Introduce another tablespoon of butter to enhance the flavor before pouring in the gravy mix. Cook the gravy until it thickens and turns a darker color. Set aside.

8. Fry the eggs sunny-side up in a separate pan. Melt a bit of butter, crack the eggs in, and cook until the whites are set.

9. Assemble your loco moco: Begin with a layer of white rice, followed by a cooked beef patty. Ladle a generous amount of gravy over the patty, and carefully place a sunny-side-up egg on top. Season according to taste and garnish with green onions.

10. Serve the loco moco hot, savoring every bite of this heartwarming Hawaiian classic.

Cooking Tips:

- Use a non-stick pan for cooking the eggs to ensure they slide onto the loco moco effortlessly.

- For a healthier alternative, opt for lean ground beef or turkey, and brown rice instead of white.
