A steaming mound of fluffy white rice topped with a juicy, deeply seared beef patty, smothered in a glossy pan gravy, and finished with a fried egg with a yolk that breaks into everything below — this is comfort food built for a big spoon and an empty bowl. The patties get their savory depth from grated onion, garlic powder, and a good hard sear, while the gravy simmers low and slow with softened onion and beef broth until it clings to every grain of rice. A perfectly fried egg and a scatter of green onion finish things off with color and richness. It's a hearty, one-bowl meal that comes together in stages but rewards you with layers of flavor in every bite, and it fits neatly into a gluten free kitchen without losing any of its classic diner-style charm.

1 ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
¼ cup yellow onion, finely grated
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce

Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
salt and pepper, to taste

For the fried eggs

1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)
4 large eggs

For serving

2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the rice, water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 18 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, combine the ground beef, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined, then divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
