Equipment
- Rice Cooker Optional
- Medium mixing bowl
- Small saucepan
- 2 Large frying pans
- spatula
- Food scale
- Wax paper
- Plate
Ingredients
- 2 c dry brown rice
- Cooking spray
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 packet or 3 tbsp beef gravy mix
- 1 c hot water
- 4 large eggs
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the rice according to package directions.
- Put your gloves on. In a bowl, sprinkle the spices over the ground beef. Mix together with your hands until fully combined.
- With your food scale, measure out 4 oz (113g) of ground beef and spices. Shape into a ball, and then flatten into a round patty shape.
- Repeat with all of the ground beef. Place the prepared patties on a plate covered in wax paper, the store in the fridge while you make the gravy.
- Add 1 c of hot water to a sauce pan, and turn it to medium-high heat.
- Whisk in the gravy powder well. Heat to boiling, then turn the heat down to low and simmer 1 minute.
- Set the gravy aside to reduce further. It will form a film; this is normal.
- Spray a large frying pan lightly with non-stick spray. Set the pan over medium heat.
- Cook the burgers until they're quite brown, with dark brown char marks on each side (about 5-7 minutes). It's alright if your patties are a bit pink in the middle. Set aside.
- Before you make the eggs, plate your meal.
- Put 1/4 of the brown rice on each plate, top with 1 burger patty and drizzle liberally with brown gravy.
- Spray another frying pan with nonstick cooking spray. Turn the stove up to high heat.
- When the pan has heated, add each egg to its own separate area in the pan.
- Sprinkle each egg liberally with salt and pepper, and cook until the white is opaque but the yolk is still dark and runny (do not break the yolk!)
- Top your prepared plates with one egg each. Enjoy!
