Frequently asked questions
The steak and scrambled eggs recipe is healthy and nutritious. The dish has a lot of protein and healthy fats in it. In addition, it is loaded with vitamins and nutrients that are great for you.
Yes, you can cook the steak and eggs in the same pan. Although, if the steak is raw, you will have to cook it first. You can pan-fry the steak and then add the eggs and other ingredients.
I recommend using steak that is thin cut. Thin steaks will fry quickly, which is what you want for breakfast. Try using a thin-cut bone-in rib-eye steak. If you find that a bit pricey, you can use chuck-eye steak instead. It’s almost as lovely but way cheaper. A New York strip works well too.
