Green Eggs 'n' Steak for Two Recipe
Learn how to make this breakfast steak and eggs recipe, which is topped with herby chimichurri, from Tiffani Thiessen's debut cookbook.
Ingredients
- For the Chimichurri
- ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- ¼ cup chopped fresh oregano
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of ½ lime
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- For the Steak and Eggs
- 1 (6-ounce) bone-in rib-eye or sirloin steak
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
- 2 large eggs
Directions
- For the chimichurri: Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to fully incorporate. Set aside.
- For the steak and eggs: Season the steak with salt and pepper.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Place the steak on one side of the skillet, leaving room for the eggs. Cook until the steak has a dark brown sear, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. If the pan gets dry, add another tablespoon of butter.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. When the whites start to set, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Serve with the Chimichurri Sauce.
