I love breakfast. But, if you're at all like me, you're not always awake in time to make breakfast at what society considers an acceptable time to make breakfast. For a quick, protein-rich breakfast, or any meal if you pair it with some sides, steak and eggs are hard to resist. This is a quick pan-seared steak and fried egg.
Trying to make things Pinterest-friendly. Snazzy, eh?
Anyway, this is a pretty quick recipe. You'll need a small steak (I'm just using a strip steak), a clove of garlic, soy sauce (or Worcestershire), balsamic vinegar, one egg, oil, salt and pepper.
Peel a clove of garlic and smash it roughly, just enough to release the oils. Add the smashed garlic to a bowl, and add about two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and two tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir in half a cup of water.
You're then going to marinate your steak in this mixture for 5-10 minutes, heating two pans on the stove. Heat one to low-to-medium heat (for your egg) and the other at high heat (for your steak).
When you're ready, add about a tablespoon of oil to the pan for the egg. Add your egg to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cooking for about 2 minutes before flipping. Season your steak with salt and pepper and add to the pan, watching for any flare-ups when the fat and marinade hit the hot pan (I say this because I had a bit of an incident).
Cook your steak for about 3 minutes a side, until seared on the outside and still medium-rare on the inside. Plate with the egg on top and a bit of the marinade over the whole plate.
You're going to want to slice right into that fried egg so the yolk creates a sauce for the steak. Trust me on this.
