-
1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

For the Eggs:
-
4 large eggs
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 teaspoon butter or oil (for frying eggs)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
-
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels (this helps them sear nicely).
-
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2: Cook the Steak Bites
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the steak cubes in a single layer (don’t overcrowd the pan) and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your liking.
-
Reduce heat to medium, add butter, minced garlic, and thyme/rosemary.
-
Toss the steak in the garlic butter for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and fully coated.
-
Remove from skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
-
In the same skillet, add a teaspoon of butter or oil.
-
Crack the eggs into the pan and cook sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled, depending on your preference.
-
Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Serve
-
Plate the steak bites and top or serve alongside the eggs.
-
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
-
Enjoy with toast, roasted potatoes, or fresh avocado for a complete meal.
Tips for Best Results
-
Make sure steak cubes are dry before cooking—they sear better and stay juicy.
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
-
Use a high-smoke-point oil like avocado or vegetable oil for better searing.
-
Leftover steak bites can be stored in the fridge for 2–3 days and reheated gently.
