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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
