    Ingredients Used

    eggs, steak, salt, pepper, butter

    You need just a few simple ingredients for this dish.

    • Leftover steak/meat chopped: I use 1 cup of chopped leftover steak for this recipe. You can use cube steak, flank steak, or any cut you like.
    • Eggs: For this recipe, I will use 4 large eggs. You can use more or less of it according to your preference.
    • Butter: I prefer to fry the steak and eggs scramble in unsalted butter. You can use olive oil or any cooking oil of your choice instead. 
    • Spices: Black pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt for taste.
    • Optional garnish: chopped parsley.

    How To Make This Recipe

    1. Place the meat on a cutting board and cut it into smaller pieces.
    2. Whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and onion powder in a small bowl.
    3. Melt the butter in a non-stick pan or large skillet on low heat.
    4. Pour the eggs in and tilt the pan to spread it out.
    5. Add in the chopped beef.
    6. Let it set for 2 minutes on low heat, then stir.
    7. Transfer it to a breakfast bowl and enjoy!

    Storing and Reheating

    You can store leftover steak, and eggs scramble in the fridge. To do this, put it in an airtight container first. Then put it in the refrigerator. It will keep for a few days. 

    To preserve it longer, you can freeze it. First, freeze it on a non-stick pan for about an hour. Then transfer it to a freezer bag. You can store it for up to three months for the best quality.

    To reheat, put it in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. Then reheat in a skillet or microwave oven till hot. 

    What can I eat this recipe with?

    You can enjoy this versatile dish in different ways. Put it between some low-carb bread for an irresistible breakfast sandwich. Wrap it up in a low carb wrap for a breakfast burrito or breakfast tacos.

    You can also enjoy this quick breakfast recipe as a standalone meal. It’s equally scrumptious and filling when you eat it as it is. The steak and eggs will also go wonderfully with grilled veggies or bacon.

    Tips and variations

    • Allow the steak to come to room temperature if cold from the fridge before frying.
    • Add as little or as much pepper as you want to this recipe. The choice is entirely yours.
    • Grate some cheddar cheese and add shredded mushrooms for a delicious variation of this recipe.
    • Customize the spices with your faves. For example, you can use chopped fresh garlic and onions.
    • You can add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, or sour cream to the egg mixture.
    • Veggies like green onions, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper are lovely in it too.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are steak and scrambled eggs healthy?

    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.

    Can you cook steak and eggs in the same pan?

    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.

    What kind of steak is good for breakfast?

    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.

    Is steak for breakfast healthy?

    Steak is an excellent choice for breakfast! It contains lots of protein that will give you the energy to start the day. It also is quite filling, so it curbs hunger for hours. In addition, steak for breakfast may aid in weight loss since you eat less food during the day.
