This Hawaiian lunch recipe puts a tropical twist on the classic Loco Moco by adding a sweet and tangy pineapple teriyaki sauce. The dish features a juicy beef patty served over steamed rice, topped with a fried egg, and smothered in a flavorful pineapple teriyaki gravy, offering a delicious blend of savory and sweet flavors.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the saucepan. Cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
In the same skillet used for the patties, fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side-up is traditional for Loco Moco).
Place a serving of rice on each plate, top with a beef patty, then a fried egg. Drizzle with the pineapple teriyaki sauce and garnish with chopped green onions.
Enjoy your Pineapple Teriyaki Loco Moco hot!
