Japanese-Style Loco Moco Bowl

Hamburger Steak

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1/2 small onion, finely diced
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp MSG (optional)

Mushroom Gravy

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp beef bouillon powder

To Serve

• Steamed white rice
• Fried eggs
• Sliced avocado
• Fresh chives

Directions

• Make the patties: mix all the hamburger steak ingredients together, shape into patties, and pan-fry until fully cooked. Set aside.
• Make the gravy: in the same pan, melt the butter and caramelize the onion and mushrooms. Stir in the flour until combined.
• Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pan, then add the beef broth, soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, and beef bouillon. Simmer until thick and smooth.
• Assemble: serve the hamburger steak over steamed rice and pour the mushroom gravy generously over the top. Finish with a fried egg, sliced avocado, and fresh chives.
