Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 0.75 pounds (340 grams) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 large eggs
Vegetables:
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 0.5 small red onion, sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
- Hot sauce or avocado, for serving
Instructions
- Generously coat sliced steak with a robust blend of salt, pepper, and aromatic garlic powder, ensuring even seasoning across all meat surfaces.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high temperature, creating a sizzling cooking environment for vegetables.
- Introduce colorful bell peppers, sliced zucchini, and diced onions into the skillet, allowing them to dance and caramelize for approximately 5-7 minutes until they reach a tender, golden-brown state.
- Gently fold fresh spinach into the vegetable medley, letting it wilt quickly without losing its vibrant green color. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a separate plate, keeping them warm and inviting.
- Return the same skillet to high heat, creating an ideal surface for searing the seasoned steak slices.
- Carefully place steak pieces into the hot skillet, allowing each side to develop a rich, caramelized crust for 1-2 minutes, maintaining a tender and juicy interior.
- Remove the perfectly seared steak and reserve on a warm plate to preserve its temperature and succulence.
- Crack fresh eggs directly into the same skillet, preparing them to your preferred style – whether sunny side up, over-easy, or softly scrambled.
- Artfully arrange the caramelized vegetables and seared steak on serving plates, crowning the dish with the freshly cooked eggs.
- Enhance the presentation with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, and optionally accompany with a dash of hot sauce or creamy sliced avocado for added excitement.
Notes
- Perfect steak doneness comes from letting meat rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking, ensuring even searing and maximum tenderness.
- Select lean cuts like sirloin or flank steak for a healthier protein option that remains juicy and flavorful when cooked quickly.
- Balance nutritional profile by using minimal olive oil and choosing colorful vegetables to maximize vitamins and antioxidants in the dish.
- Customize this recipe for different dietary needs by substituting steak with tofu or plant-based protein for vegetarian versions, or using egg whites for lower cholesterol options.
