How to Make Ultimate Breakfast Steak & Eggs

1. Prepare the Steak:

• Rub the steaks with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
• Remove from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

2. Cook the Home Fries:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to crisp.
• Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are golden and cooked through. Garnish with fresh parsley.

3. Prepare the Eggs:

• In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Crack eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook to your preferred style—whether that’s sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled.

4. Assemble the Plate:

• Slice the rested steaks and serve them alongside your eggs and a generous portion of crispy home fries.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• Toast: Sourdough or multigrain toast to soak up any runny yolk.
• Fresh fruit: Add a refreshing balance with a side of berries or sliced melon.
• Avocado: For a creamy, nutrient-packed addition, serve with sliced avocado on the side.

Tips for Making the Best Breakfast

• Rest the Steak: Let your steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking to ensure juicy, tender slices.
• Crispy Potatoes: Make sure to spread out your potatoes in the pan so they have space to crisp up evenly.
• Customize Your Eggs: Play around with different egg preparations for a new twist each time you make this!

Storing Leftovers

While this breakfast is best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers:

• Steak: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Home Fries: Keep in a sealed container for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet for added crispiness.
• Eggs: It’s best to make these fresh, but scrambled eggs can be stored and reheated for up to 2 days.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I cook the steak in advance?

Yes! You can cook the steak the night before and quickly warm it up in a skillet before serving.

Can I use frozen potatoes for the home fries?

You can, but fresh potatoes will give you the best texture and flavor. If using frozen, let them thaw and dry slightly before frying.

What’s the best steak for breakfast?

Ribeye and sirloin are great options due to their rich flavor and tender texture. If you want something leaner, try filet mignon or flank steak.
