Here’s a classic Steak and Eggs breakfast (or brunch) 🥩🍳 — simple, hearty, and packed with protein.
Steak and Eggs
Servings: 1–2
Time: ~20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut), ~8 oz
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tsp olive oil or butter
- 2 eggs
- Optional: fresh herbs (parsley, chives), hot sauce, or garlic butter
Instructions
- Prepare steak
- Bring steak to room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
- Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook steak
- Heat skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil or butter.
- Sear steak 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for thickness).
- Remove from pan, let rest 5 minutes.
- Cook eggs
- In the same skillet, cook eggs to your liking: sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve
- Slice steak against the grain, serve with eggs on the side.
- Optional: drizzle with garlic butter or sprinkle fresh herbs.
Tips & Variations
- Add a side of sautéed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, or hash browns.
- For extra flavor, marinate steak 30 minutes in soy sauce, garlic, and a splash of Worcestershire.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best sear.
I can also give a one-pan version where steak and eggs cook together for a faster breakfast.
