Steak and Eggs

Steak and eggs are popular among Texans, and there are multitudes of ways to approach the dish. If you prefer meat in small portions, incorporate peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions. Use ground beef instead of steak, or swap in meat trimmings from a steak or slices of skirt steak for a large hunk of meat. Mince ginger and add it with abandon for a burst of flavor. Cook quickly in a frying pan with onions and vegetables, then finish by adding the eggs and covering the pan. Be careful not to overcook the meat, or it will get tough. A few minutes later, breakfast is ready in one pan.

Step 1
In a medium-sized frying pan, warm the ghee and add the cumin seeds. As soon as they pop and sizzle, add the sliced onion. Cook over high heat until the onion develops a little bit of color. Lower the heat and cover the pan for 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 2
Increase the heat to high and add the bell pepper, ginger, serrano, steak and salt. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Crack the eggs on top, separating the meat and adding an egg to each empty pocket in the pan. Immediately cover the pan.
Step 4
Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, then nestle the spinach leaves among the eggs and meat. Cover the pan and turn off the heat.
Step 5
Let the pan rest, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. If you prefer firm yolks, cook for another 2 minutes.

4 tablespoons ghee or melted butter

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 small red onion, sliced

1 bell pepper, sliced thick

1 tablespoon minced ginger

Notes & Variations

  • For a saucier version, add a bit of pasta sauce or tomato sauce toward the end.
