Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 6 oz thinly sliced steak strips (such as flank or sirloin)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking)

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp butter or oil (for cooking)

Sandwich

  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 2 American cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Steak: Slice the steak thinly and season it generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add butter or oil. Cook the steak strips for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but still tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Lower the heat to medium-low and lightly grease the pan again if needed. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk gently to keep them fluffy. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, to create soft scrambled eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Toast the English Muffins: Slice the English muffins in half and toast until golden brown and slightly crispy to create a sturdy yet soft base for the sandwich.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: On the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, layer the cooked steak strips, then add the scrambled eggs on top. Place a slice of American cheese over the eggs, allowing it to melt from the residual heat. Cap with the muffin top and press gently to combine the flavors.
  5. Serve While Warm: Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for even cooking and fluffier texture.
  • Do not overcook the steak to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Toast the English muffins well to prevent sogginess and add crunch.
  • Cover the pan while melting cheese to ensure perfect melty texture without overcooking the eggs.
  • Season the steak and eggs separately to enhance each component’s flavor fully.
