Steak and eggs is not a combo I find myself craving. When I think of the person who likes steak and eggs, I think of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. It just feels right to me.
I don’t want to imply that Steak and Eggs is solely a meal for narcissistic villains though. We shall say a tendency maybe.
Look it’s just not a meal I think about ever and it’s humorous to me that Cook This Not That even has a blurb before this recipe assuring you that you can have steak and eggs at any time. You can have them in a box with a fox or in a house with a mouse. Provided that you like steak and eggs Sam.
What you’ll need
- 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
- 1 Pound of flank or skirt steak
- 4 Roma Tomatoes, halved
- 4 eggs
- Chimichurri Sauce
- 1 cup of chopped parsley
- 1 clove of garlic
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup of oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of jalapeños
The chimichurri sauce is optional, so if you decide to make it I suggest making it before the steak and eggs. That being said, I do recommend that you go ahead and make it. Store bought sauces have a ton of salt and preservatives and this is so easy to make. All you have to do to make the sauce is throw all those ingredients in a blender. Super easy folks. So do that.
The first step to making the steak is to prep a pan by heating some olive oil on it over high heat. As the pan heats up, season your steak with some salt and pepper on all sides and then place on the pan. Cook for about 7 to 8 minutes, turning the steak every minute or so.
Remove steak from pan and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Get your tomatoes out and cook them on the same pan, cut side down, for about two minutes.
Once your tomatoes are cooked remove them from the pan and add some more oil to cook your eggs with. Crack open those eggs and cook them sunny side up. At least that’s what the cookbook suggests. Feel free to cook them how you wish.
If your steak has rested 5 minutes, you can slice it up and plate. Serve the eggs on the side, along with the tomatoes and then pour some chimichurri sauce on top.
The chimichurri sauce is what makes this dish. It was by far the best part and I can’t really say much about anything else. Steak and eggs is just not my cup of tea, but if you’re into the sort of thing this is a healthy and simple recipe to try.
