How to Make Steak and Eggs
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound top sirloin steak
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound gold potatoes (cut into ½-inch cubes)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ medium yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 3-4 eggs
Directions
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, chives, minced garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors blend.
Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with kosher salt and black pepper. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting into cubes.
Prepare the Potatoes: While the steak rests, heat a bit of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. In a medium bowl, coat the cubed potatoes with smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Add the Onion: Once the potatoes are crispy, add the sliced onion to the skillet. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, around 3-4 minutes.
Incorporate the Steak: Return the cubed steak to the skillet with the potatoes and onions. Stir everything together to combine well.
Add the Tomatoes and Prepare for the Eggs: Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional minute. Then, using a spoon, create small wells in the mixture.
Cook the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low. Crack an egg into each well you created. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 3-5 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Assemble and Serve: Drizzle the prepared herb sauce over the steak and egg hash. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
