Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 units egg
- 2 tablespoons green onions
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well and shape into four equal-sized patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the beef patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the low sodium beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a smooth slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the simmering broth and mushrooms. Cook, stirring continuously, until the gravy thickens, roughly 3-5 minutes.
In a separate pan, fry the eggs to your liking (sunny side up or over easy).
To assemble, place 1 cup of cooked brown rice onto each plate. Top with a beef patty, followed by a generous ladle of mushroom gravy, and crown with a fried egg.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
