Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, then keep it covered while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Season the minced beef with half the salt and pepper, shape it into four patties and fry in a little of the butter until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Fry the eggs in the same pan until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft.
Add the remaining butter and diced onion to the pan. Cook until softened, stir in the flour, then whisk in the beef stock until smooth and thickened. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
Divide the rice between four bowls, top each portion with a beef patty and fried egg, then spoon over the onion gravy.
Scatter over the sliced spring onions and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best gravy, scrape the browned bits from the pan as the stock is whisked in. Serve straight away so the rice stays fluffy and the egg yolk enriches the sauce.
About this recipe
Loco moco layers steamed rice with a savoury beef patty, a fried egg and plenty of glossy onion gravy. It is hearty, straightforward comfort food with contrasting textures in every forkful.
Cook the gravy in the same pan as the patties so it picks up their browned flavour, then assemble just before serving while the egg yolks are still soft.
