How to cook it

  1. Cook the rice according to package directions and keep warm.

  2. Form the ground beef into 4 patties, season with salt and pepper, and cook in a hot skillet with a little oil until done to your liking, about 4 minutes per side, then remove.

  3. Add the onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes, then sprinkle in the flour and cook 1 minute.

  4. Whisk in the beef broth and ketchup, scraping up the browned bits, and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

  5. Fry the eggs in a separate pan until the whites are set but the yolks are runny.

  6. Divide the rice among bowls, top each with a beef patty, a fried egg, and a ladle of gravy.
