Steak and eggs is a timeless, hearty breakfast that’s beloved for its savory, satisfying flavors. The combination of juicy, tender steak and perfectly cooked eggs is the perfect way to start the day, providing a hearty meal that keeps you fueled and ready for whatever lies ahead. In this detailed recipe, we’ll show you how to make steak and eggs in the most delicious way possible.
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut, such as sirloin or flank)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter, for extra richness)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional: parsley, thyme, or rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking the eggs)
- Optional sides: toast, roasted potatoes, sautéed spinach, or grilled tomatoes
Stage 1: Preparing the Steak
- Bring the steak to room temperature. Before cooking, take your steaks out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This helps them cook evenly and ensures a juicier steak.
- Season the steaks. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps achieve a nice sear. Generously season both sides of each steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using). The seasoning helps form a flavorful crust when the steak cooks.
