Steak Bites and Eggs Breakfast Skillet
Ingredients (Serves 2-4)For the steak bites:
1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
For the eggs:
4 large eggs
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)
Instructions
Prepare the steak bites:
In a bowl, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Cook the steak bites:
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
Sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (135°F/57°C for medium-rare). Remove the steak bites to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Cook the eggs:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, letting it melt and coat the pan.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them spaced apart. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or cook longer for firmer yolks).
Combine and serve:
Return the steak bites to the skillet, nestling them around the eggs.
Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
Serve directly from the skillet with optional sides like toast, hash browns, or a simple green salad.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the steak bites while searing.
You can substitute the steak with sausage or bacon for a different variation.
