Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Cook the Steak: Season both sides of your steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil or butter. Cook the steaks to your desired doneness – about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

2. Prepare the Pancakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.

3. Cook the Eggs: In a separate skillet, heat a little butter or oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your desired style (scrambled, sunny-side-up, or over-easy). Season with salt and pepper.

4. Assemble the Plate: Place the cooked steak on the plate, add the eggs, and stack the pancakes on the side. Serve with your favorite syrup or toppings.

Variations

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

FAQs

1. What kind of steak is best for this breakfast plate?

A good choice would be a tender cut like sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip, but any steak you enjoy can work.

2. Can I make this meal ahead of time?

You can prep the steak and pancakes ahead of time and reheat them when you’re ready to serve. Eggs should be cooked fresh for the best texture.

3. How do I make the pancakes fluffier?

Ensure that you don’t over-mix the batter. It’s okay if there are a few lumps. Over-mixing can make the pancakes dense.

4. Can I use plant-based milk in the pancake batter?

Yes, you can substitute regular milk with almond milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based milk for dairy-free pancakes.

5. Can I use frozen steak for this recipe?

It’s best to use fresh steak, but you can thaw frozen steak in the refrigerator overnight and cook it the same way as fresh steak.

6. What if I want my steak cooked more well-done?

If you prefer your steak more well-done, simply cook it for an additional 2-3 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness.

7. Can I make this meal gluten-free?

Yes, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make the pancakes gluten-free, and choose a gluten-free steak seasoning.

8. Can I add cheese to my eggs?

Absolutely! Adding cheese to scrambled eggs or on top of fried eggs can give the dish a rich and creamy texture.

9. How do I get my pancakes perfectly golden brown?

Make sure the pan is at medium heat, and don’t rush the cooking process. Flip the pancakes only when bubbles appear on the surface.

10. How do I store leftover steak?

Wrap leftover steak in plastic wrap or foil, and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
