For The Hamburger Patties
- 1 1/2 lb Ground beef
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp Seasoning salt
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
For The Gravy
- 1 1/2 cup Beef stock
- 4 tsp Shoyu (soy sauce)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp Ketchup
- 5 tsp Cornstarch
Instructions
For The Hamburger Patties
- Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a big bowl.
- Begin shaping the meat into patties by taking a handful of meat and rolling it into a ball. Then, press it down gently to flatten it out. Make sure to smoothen the edges to avoid any cracks or uneven edges.
- The patties should be around one inch thick. It's advisable to make the patties larger in size, as they tend to shrink when fried.
- Place a pan on the stove and heat it over medium heat. Cook each side of the patties for approximately 3-5 minutes or until they are thoroughly cooked.
- After cooking, place each patty on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
For The Gravy
- Combine the beef stock, shoyu, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and there are no lumps remaining at the bottom.
- In the same pan, melt one tablespoon of butter. Add the onions and cook them until they turn golden brown, which usually takes about a minute. Then, add the mushrooms and continue frying for an additional one to two minutes.
- Melt the remaining butter and add the gravy mix to the pan. Continuously stir the gravy until it starts to thicken and gently simmer.
For The Egg
- Place a slice of butter in a frying pan and let it melt. Crack an egg onto the pan.
- Prepare a sunny-side-up egg by cooking it in a pan. Feel free to adjust the cooking method based on your personal preference. Once cooked, set the egg aside.
