Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 8 oz thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak
Eggs
- 4 fresh eggs
Cheese
- 4 slices American cheese
English Muffins
- 2 whole English muffins
Butter
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Cook the Steak: Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly season your thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper, then cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Once ready, remove from the skillet and let it rest.
- Prepare the Eggs: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Crack the eggs directly into the pan. Scramble them gently, adding a pinch of salt and a pat of butter for flavor. Cook until just set but still creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Toast the English Muffins: While the eggs are cooking, slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown. You can also spread a bit of butter on them for extra flavor.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Start by placing a slice of cooked steak on the bottom half of each muffin. Top it with a generous heap of scrambled eggs and finish with a slice of cheese. Place the top half of the muffin on each sandwich.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh steak and eggs will enhance the flavors significantly, so always opt for quality.
- Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Aim for soft scrambled eggs to keep the texture creamy and indulgent.
- Experiment with Seasoning: Don’t shy away from adding herbs or spices to enhance the flavor profile of your steak.
- Keep it Warm: If preparing multiple sandwiches, keep them warm in the oven until all are ready to serve.
- Layer Thoughtfully: A well-layered sandwich makes for a better eating experience, ensuring each bite has all components.
