🌺 Aloha! Get ready to experience a taste of Hawaii with this delicious recipe for Loco Moco, a beloved beachside favorite straight from the shores of the North Shore! 🏝️🍽️

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 steaks (of your choice)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup flour (divided)
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 crackers, crushed into crumbs
  • 1/4 cup corn oil
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 4 eggs (for frying)

For the Gravy:

  • 1/4 cup flour (reserved from above)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Season the Steaks: Begin by seasoning the steaks generously with salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.

  2. Prepare Dredging Station: Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place 3/4 cup of flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, spread out the cracker crumbs.

  3. Dredge the Steaks: Dredge each steak in the flour, ensuring it’s fully coated, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with the cracker crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. Heat the Skillet: In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, warm the corn oil until it shimmers, indicating it’s hot enough for frying.

  5. Fry the Steaks: Carefully place the dredged steaks into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

  6. Prepare the Gravy: Pour off all but 4 tablespoons of the remaining oil from the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the reserved 1/4 cup of flour, stirring constantly until it forms a smooth paste and begins to lightly brown.

  7. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the milk, pouring it slowly into the skillet while continuing to whisk, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.

  8. Season the Gravy: Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed for your preference.

  9. Assemble the Loco Moco: Divide the cooked rice among four plates, creating a bed of rice on each plate. Place a cooked steak on top of the rice on each plate.

  10. Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet used to cook the steaks, fry the eggs sunny-side up or according to your preference.

  11. Top with Eggs: Carefully place a fried egg on top of each steak.

  12. Pour on the Gravy: Finally, generously ladle the prepared gravy over the steaks and eggs, ensuring each plate is smothered in deliciousness.

  13. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Loco Moco immediately while hot, and savor the flavors of Hawaii right in your own home! 🌴🍳
