What Started it all:
Small steak cuts, salt, pepper, milk, eggs, butter
A classic dish that’s simple yet demands precision! Perfectly seared steak paired with creamy scrambled eggs is a breakfast fit for champions. Don’t mess it up; it’s all about timing and technique. Let’s get to it!
Ingredients
- 4 small steak cuts (about 150g each)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Season the small steak cuts generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper on both sides. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to bring them to room temperature. This isn’t a bloody fridge; we want them to cook evenly!
- Heat the Pan: Get a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter. Wait until it’s bubbling and foaming like a raging river before you proceed.
- Sear the Steak: Place the steak cuts in the hot pan. Don’t overcrowd it; give them space to breathe! Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until you see a glorious golden crust. Flip them over and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust timing if you prefer it more cooked.
- Rest the Steak: Once cooked to perfection, take the steak out of the pan and let it rest on a plate. Cover it loosely with foil. It’s not going to run away; just let it relax for a few minutes!
- Scramble the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until it’s a beautiful, homogenous mixture. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Cook the Eggs: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Let it melt and foam again. Pour in the egg mixture, then gently stir with a spatula. Keep the heat low and don’t rush this; we want creamy, not rubbery!
- Final Touch: Continue to stir until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny. Remove from the heat; carry on stirring as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
- Serve It Up: Slice the rested steak and plate it alongside the scrambled eggs. Garnish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper if you’re feeling fancy.
There you have it! A stunning steak and eggs dish that’s not just about filling your stomach but also about mastering your skills in the kitchen. Now get out there and serve it up with confidence!
