Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank)

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon or lime juice (for avocado)

  • Instructions

    1. Prepare the Steak

    1. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
    2. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter.
    3. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.
    4. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    2. Cook the Eggs

    1. In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add a bit more butter if needed.
    2. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preferred style (sunny-side up, scrambled, or over-easy).
    3. Season with a pinch of salt and chili flakes if desired.

    3. Prepare the Avocado

    1. While the steak is resting, slice the avocado and drizzle with lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.

    4. Assemble & Serve

    1. Slice the steak against the grain.
    2. Plate the steak with the avocado slices and eggs on the side.
    3. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
    4. Serve immediately and enjoy!
