Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups White rice
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 Pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or simmer on the stove with a lid until the water is absorbed and rice is tender (about 20 minutes). Fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until just combined. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, making a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Cook the hamburger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and let it melt. Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the beef stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.
In another skillet, sear the pineapple rings over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side until caramelized. Remove and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and add a small drizzle of oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side-up or to your preferred doneness.
To assemble, place a scoop of rice onto each plate. Top with a hamburger patty, a pineapple ring, and a generous ladle of gravy. Finish with a sunny-side-up egg and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy this Maui-inspired culinary experience!
