Ingredients
- 2 steaks 1-inch thick (NY strip, ribeye, or sirloin)
- 4 teaspoons steak seasoning
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons ghee or 1 tb butter + 1 tb olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Optional Add-Ons: toast hashbrowns or smashed potatoes, ranchero sauce, or chimichurri sauce
Instructions
- Season the steaks on both sides with 3 teaspoons of steak seasoning, reserving the last teaspoon for the eggs.
- Set a 12-14 inch cast-iron skillet, or nonstick skillet, on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee to the skillet. Once melted, place the steaks in the skillet and sear each side for 3-4 minutes, for medium rare. Remove the steaks and set them on a plate to rest. Cover loosely with foil to keep them warm.
- If needed, use a spatula to scrape any seasoning bits out of the skillet, so the eggs don't stick. Lower the heat to medium.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of ghee to the skillet. Carefully crack the eggs in the skillet and sprinkle the tops of the eggs with steak seasoning. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes for perfect sunny side up eggs. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to work in batches to cook all the eggs. *Of course, you can serve any style of eggs with steak and eggs. Sunny side up are traditional, but you can make over easy fried eggs, or scrambled eggs as well!
- Once the eggs are cooked, sliced the steak into ¼ inch strips, against the grain, to make it easy to serve. Sprinkle the top of the steak and eggs with fresh chopped parsley. Serve as-is for a high protein breakfast, or add in classic carby breakfast sides!

Notes
- Seasonings - We have an amazing steak seasoning recipe here on the site. However, you can use a store-bought steak seasoning blend or a simple mix of: 1 ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp pepper, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp chili powder.
- Storing Leftovers - Steak and eggs taste best when enjoyed freshly made. However, the steak will keep well for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Reheating - Reheat the steak in short bursts on 50% power to heat the meat without overcooking and drying it out. I recommend making fresh eggs.
