Servings:4quantities adjust to match

Ingredients

  • 21¼ oz beef mince
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1¾ oz breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 28¼ oz cooked rice
  • 4 eggs, fried
  • 2 cups beef gravy
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • spring onions, sliced

Method

  1. Mix the beef mince with the onion, breadcrumbs, egg and Worcestershire sauce and season well with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 thick patties.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the patties for 5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Pour off most of the fat, leaving the drippings in the pan.
  3. Pour the beef gravy into the same pan with the patties' drippings, bring to a simmer, and stir for 2 minutes, scraping up the browned bits, until glossy.
  4. Fry the 4 eggs in a separate pan until the whites are set and the yolks still runny.
  5. Build each plate in this order, always: a mound of rice, a patty on top, a fried egg on that, then gravy poured over everything. Scatter with spring onions and eat with a spoon and fork.
