Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 Steaks Sirloin Steaks 6-8 oz each, about 1 inch thick
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper Freshly ground
• 1/4 tsp Salt Sea Salt
• 4 Large Eggs
• 1 tbsp Milk or Cream Optional, for creamier eggs
• 1 tsp Butter
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Equipment

• Air Fryer
• Small bowl
• Fork
• Tongs

Method

 

• Pat the sirloin steaks dry with paper towels. This helps to get a good sear.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each steak.
• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the steaks in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Cook for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness and the thickness of the steaks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking. 130-135°F for medium-rare, 135-145°F for medium.
• Remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• While the steak is resting, melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
• Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist. Avoid overcooking.
• Slice the steak against the grain. Serve the sliced steak immediately alongside the scrambled eggs.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use ribeye steaks instead of sirloin. You can also add a pat of butter to the eggs at the end for extra richness. Serve with toast, potatoes, or your favorite breakfast sides.

Pro Tips for Making This steak and eggs breakfast

Here are some of my favorite tips to make your steak and eggs breakfast truly shine:

• For Extra Flavor: I like to add a pat of herb butter to the steak as soon as it comes out of the air fryer. The melting butter adds a richness that takes it to the next level.
• Achieving Perfectly Cooked Eggs: For runny yolks, cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks still jiggle. For firmer yolks, cook them a minute or two longer.
• My Secret Trick: I always let my steak rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. This makes the best steak and eggs breakfast you can imagine.

Fun Variations for steak and eggs breakfast

Want to mix things up? Here are a few delicious variations to try with your steak and eggs breakfast:

• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to your steak seasoning for a little heat.
• Cheesy Delight: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking.
• Veggie Boost: Sauté some diced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms and serve them alongside your steak and eggs.
• Herb Infusion: Try using different herbs in your steak seasoning, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.

What to Serve With steak and eggs breakfast

This steak and eggs breakfast is a complete meal on its own, but here are some sides that will complement it perfectly:

• Toast: A slice of sourdough or whole-wheat toast is perfect for soaking up the runny egg yolks.
• Fresh Fruit: A side of fresh berries, melon, or sliced oranges adds a touch of sweetness and brightness.
• Hash Browns: Crispy hash browns are a classic pairing with steak and eggs.
• Avocado: Sliced avocado adds a creamy, healthy fat to the meal. My tip is to sprinkle a little sea salt on top for extra flavor.

How to Store steak and eggs breakfast

If you have any leftover steak and eggs breakfast, store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The steak will keep for up to 3 days, and the eggs are best consumed within 1-2 days. I always reheat the steak in a skillet over medium heat to retain its juiciness.
