Ingredients
- 0.5 pounds Lean beef steak (such as sirloin or filet mignon, trimmed of visible fat)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary leaves
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Rub it with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary leaves.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak to the hot pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness (145°F for medium-rare, measured with a meat thermometer). Remove from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest while you prepare the eggs.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the baby spinach and stir for 2 minutes or until wilted. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove and set aside.
Step 4
Crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. If you prefer firm yolks, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
To serve, slice the rested steak against the grain. Plate with the cooked spinach, eggs, cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado. Enjoy immediately for a nutritious, heart-healthy breakfast.
