About the Recipe
A hearty breakfast pairing a juicy, flavorful steak with perfectly fried eggs nestled right on top. Rich in protein and healthy fats, this classic meal sets the stage for a strong, energized day.
Ingredients
4 oz breakfast steak (ribeye, sirloin, or strip steak recommended)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter or beef tallow (for cooking)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation
Breakfast Steak:
Season Steak: Season steak generously on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook Steak: Heat butter or beef tallow in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or adjust to preferred doneness).
Cooking Tip: Let the steak rest briefly (2-3 minutes) after cooking to retain juices.
Fried Eggs:
Fry Eggs: In the same skillet used for the steak, lower heat to medium. Gently crack eggs into skillet, cooking until whites set and yolks reach desired doneness (2-3 minutes).
Cooking Tip: Cooking eggs in the same skillet captures the steak's flavorful drippings.
Plate & Serve: Place steak onto a plate and top immediately with fried eggs. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
