Savory Breakfast Skillet with Hearty Steak and Eggs 🍳🥩
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup steak, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This will help achieve that perfect sear on the steak.
2. While the oil is heating, season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Make sure each piece is evenly coated with the seasonings for maximum flavor.
3. Once the olive oil is ready, carefully add the seasoned steak cubes to the skillet. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. After cooking, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
4. Next, lower the heat to medium and crack the eggs gently into the same skillet. Aim to keep the eggs on one side to create a lovely sunny-side-up effect.
5. Cook the eggs until the whites are fully set while keeping the yolks runny, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on them to achieve just the right texture.
6. Once the eggs are ready, return the seared steak to the skillet alongside the eggs. Allow them to warm together for about a minute, letting the flavors meld.
7. For a fresh and vibrant touch, garnish the dish with chopped fresh herbs. This adds both flavor and a pop of color, making your breakfast even more appealing.
8. Serve this delicious and protein-packed breakfast skillet hot, and enjoy a satisfying start to your day!
