In a large mixing bowl; combine ground beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, 1-teaspoon salt, pepper and bread crumbs. Mix by hand and form into four patties; refrigerate.
Prepare rice according to package directions, keep warm.
Preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium high-heat and add 1-teaspoon oil. Sear patties 3 to 4 minutes per side; remove from pan. Using a paper towel, wipe any excess oil and cooked bits from pan.
Add remaining 2-teaspoons oil to the hot pan, sear mushrooms 4 minutes, season with 1- teaspoon salt. Stir in stock and soy sauce; bring to a boil.
In a bowl or small pitcher combine 3-tablespoons cold water with corn starch, stir into mushrooms. Bring back to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer. Add beef patties to gravy, simmer until patties reach an internal temperature of 160° F.
While patties simmer, melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack each egg into pan as you would for fried eggs, season with remaining 1/2-teaspoon salt, sear 2 minutes, cover pan to cook whites through, one minute.
Divide rice among four plates, top with beef patties, gravy, fried egg and scallion.
