Dairy-Free Hawaiian Loco Moco

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground beef
• 4 cups Cooked white rice
• 8 oz Mushrooms
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 large Eggs

Instructions

1. 1Form the 1.5 lbs of ground beef into 4 equal patties, each approximately 1/2-inch thick. Season both sides of the patties evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
2. 2Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (10-12 inch) skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 375°F / 190°C). Carefully place the 4 seasoned beef patties into the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and set aside.
3. 3Add the 8 oz of sliced mushrooms and 1 medium diced onion to the same skillet, using the residual drippings. Cook over medium heat (approximately 325°F / 160°C), stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and the onion is translucent.
4. 4Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Pour in the 2 cups of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, then increase the heat to medium-high (approximately 375°F / 190°C) and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. 5In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until a smooth slurry forms. Slowly pour the tapioca starch slurry into the simmering gravy, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the gravy visibly thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Reduce the heat to low (approximately 200°F / 95°C) to keep the gravy warm.
6. 6In a separate non-stick pan, fry the 4 large eggs. For traditional sunny-side up, heat the pan over medium heat (approximately 325°F / 160°C), crack one egg at a time, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny.
7. 7To assemble each serving, place 1 cup of the cooked white rice into a bowl, then top with one cooked hamburger patty. Spoon a generous amount of the warm mushroom gravy over the patty and rice, and carefully place one fried egg on top. Serve immediately.
