Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 8 oz. lean ground beef; 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; 1/2 tsp. garlic powder; 1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper; 1 1/2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 2 tbsp. unsalted butter; 2 large eggs; 1 1/2 c. hot, steamed basmati rice, divided; Furikake seasoning, for garnish; Sliced chives, for garnish; 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided; 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced; 8 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced; 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 c. chicken or vegetable broth; kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper

Step 1In a mixing bowl, add ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and pepper and stir together. Form two even 4-ounce patties and lightly season each side with salt and pepper.

Step 2Pour oil in a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, add patties and sear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook patties until medium doneness, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove patties from skillet and set aside, loosely covered with foil.

Step 3Make the mushroom gravy: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are lightly caramelized, 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter, sprinkle with flour, and stir together. Lower heat to medium and stir in broth. Continue to stir until no lumps remain and gravy has thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Adjust seasonings. Cover and set aside.

Step 4In another skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter. Once hot, add eggs and fry until whites have set and edges are crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5To assemble: Divide rice between two plates and top each with a burger patty, followed by a scoop of gravy, a fried egg, and another scoop of gravy. Finish each dish with a sprinkle of furikake seasoning and some sliced chives. Serve.
