Soco Mojo Recipes

LOCO MOCO

Steps:

• For the burgers: Mix the ground beef, onions, panko, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and egg. Form into 4 patties. Pan fry or broil the patties to desired doneness. Remove any excess oil from the pan and set aside for the gravy.
• For the gravy: Combine the butter and excess burger oil and heat in a saucepan. Add the flour and whisk out any lumps to create a smooth roux. Slowly add the beef broth, stirring constantly until smooth. Add the Worcestershire and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until thickened and the flour taste is gone.
• For the plate: Serve the burger patties on a bed of hot steamed rice, with a fried egg over each and gravy drizzled on top.

Steps:

• Dust the veal shanks lightly with flour. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the veal, and cook until browned on the outside. Remove to a bowl, and keep warm. Add two cloves of crushed garlic and onion to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender. Return the veal to the pan and mix in the carrot and wine. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Pour in the tomatoes and beef stock, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 hours, basting the veal every 15 minutes or so. The meat should be tender, but not falling off the bone.
