Ingredients

For the Beef Patties:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 small onion, finely minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups Maui Bone Broth (beef)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

  • 2 cups cooked white rice (short or medium grain)
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. Make the Patties

  1. In a bowl, mix ground beef, minced onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
  2. Form into 2–4 patties, depending on preferred size.
  3. Heat skillet to medium-high and sear patties until golden and cooked to desired doneness (about 4–5 minutes per side).
  4. Remove patties and set aside. Keep warm.

2. Make the Gravy (Maui Bone Broth Magic)

  1. In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Stir in flour to make a roux. Whisk continuously for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned.
  3. Slowly whisk in the Maui Beef Bone Broth, ensuring no lumps.
  4. Add soy sauce, Worcestershire, onion powder, salt & pepper.
  5. Simmer until thickened (about 5–7 minutes), stirring occasionally.

3. Cook the Eggs

  • Fry eggs sunny side up or over-easy in butter or oil, leaving yolks runny.

4. Assemble the Loco Moco

  1. Plate a scoop (or two) of hot rice.
  2. Top with beef patty.
  3. Ladle over hot gravy generously.
  4. Add the fried egg on top.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped green onions or parsley.

Optional Toppings & Twists

  • Grilled pineapple slices for sweetness
  • Crispy fried onions or sautéed mushrooms
  • Swap beef for venison, turkey, or taro-lentil patty for a local fusion
  • Add a dash of chili peppah water or lilikoi hot sauce for kick

Notes

  • Bone broth gravy gives an added depth of flavor, healthy fats, and nutrients.
  • Loco Moco is about bold flavor + homey satisfaction — perfect as a Maui-style brunch or casual dinner.
  • Can be made gluten-free with cornstarch slurry instead of roux.
