An easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Steak and Eggs is a protein-packed skillet meal that’s especially flavorful thanks to a blended garlic, parsley, and vinegar sauce.

If you need a good but easy steak recipe, try my Alfredo pasta steak for a creamy and indulgent dinner option. And for a quick and flavorful bite, my garlic butter steak bites are a must-try. Both recipes are packed with savory goodness and are perfect for any steak lover looking to switch things up!

 

Easy Steak and Eggs Recipe

This is one of those dishes for when you’re just hungry. You know, when it’s been a little while since you had a solid, filling, protein-packed meal? This is, hands down, the best steak and eggs recipe – it’s quick, easy, and absolutely delicious! We’re talking bone-in ribeye steak, perfectly fried eggs cooked in the same skillet as the steak, and a flavor-packed blended garlic and herb sauce. This dish will fill you up and satisfy your craving for a good, square meal.

Steak and eggs are a great breakfast or brunch option to kick off a holiday or long weekend. You also might want to make it for a filling breakfast-for-dinner, aka brinner. It’s a nice change from carb-laden breakfast treats, although I have a soft spot for those, too. If you’ve never made a steak and eggs recipe at home before, I hope this one inspires you to give it a try because it’s so dang easy!

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe shines thanks to its simple ingredients. If you really want the best steak and eggs possible, go for high-quality, fresh ingredients. The sauce is especially vibrant with fresh lemon, garlic, and parsley—it is a simplified chimichurri sauce, if you will.

• Steak: I recommend using bone-in ribeye steak or tomahawk steak, but there are lots of good options! See the list below.
• Salt and Pepper: Use kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
• Butter and Olive Oil: Together, real butter and olive oil add incredible flavor to this simple skillet meal.  
• Eggs: You’ll need a couple of large whole eggs. Free range organic eggs tend to be the most flavorful.

Ingredients For The Garlic Parsley Sauce

• Olive Oil: The bold taste of extra virgin olive oil is perfect in this blended sauce, but you could also use regular olive oil or avocado oil.
• Parsley: You’ll need a medium bunch of fresh parsley.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic is best for this recipe.
• Red Wine Vinegar: Swap out your favorite vinegar if you don’t have red wine vinegar.
• Lemon Juice: This adds a bright fresh note to the sauce. Fresh is preferable, but bottled is fine, too.
• Salt and Black Pepper: To enhance the flavors.

How to Make Steak and Eggs

Cooking a steak and eggs breakfast is easy when you have a good, heavy cast-iron skillet. The eggs cook up especially tasty and crispy when made in the same pan as the steak drippings.

1. Prep the Steak: Take the steak out of the fridge and pat it dry with paper towels. Sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper, and set it aside for 20 to 30 minutes. You can cover it with a clean tea towel, paper towels, or a plate.
2. Cook the Steak. Melt the butter and heat the oil together in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the steak in the hot skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until browned. 
3. Add the Eggs to the Skillet. Push the steak to the side of the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the eggs, being careful not to break the yolks. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
4. Cover and Cook. When the whites of the eggs start to set, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the eggs are done. At this point, the steak’s internal temperature should register between 130˚F and 135˚F. 
5. Finish the Dish. Take the steak from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a blender and pulse until thoroughly combined. Serve the steak and eggs warm with the freshly made sauce. 

Serving Suggestions

For a perfect steak and eggs breakfast, try pairing it with a fresh and sweet Moscato fruit salad, which looks like a bowlful of jewels. Add some asparagus for a balanced meal; steam it or use a grill pan to make easy grilled asparagus. And don’t forget the potatoes! Achieve crispy, hash-like goodness effortlessly with a batch of crispy air fryer potatoes, seasoned with herb butter. These sides will take your steak and eggs to the next level.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

While the eggs are best enjoyed fresh, you can easily slice and store any leftover steak. Just pop it into a zip-top bag and refrigerate or freeze. Refrigerated leftover steak will keep for 3 days, and frozen leftover steak will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using.

You can serve leftover steak slices cold to make a steak salad or reheat them in a covered skillet on low heat until steaming hot all the way through. Don’t overcook the steak, as it will dry out.
