Marinated Steak and Eggs

Happy Birthday to me!


I decided to post this for my birthday because who doesn't like steak and eggs! A large Starbucks coffee + steak and eggs = great start to my birthday!

Marinated Flank Steak
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch ground black pepper
1 pound flank steak

In a medium bowl, mix the oil, vinegar, ginger, lemon juice, garlic, and ground black pepper. Place meat in sealable plastic bag. Pour marinade into the bag and seal. Refrigerate for 6 hours.


Steak and Eggs
Marinated steak
2 eggs
1/2 yellow onion
fat of choice - I used bacon fat
2 tbsp chopped green onions

Heat up 2 small skillets over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of bacon fat to one of your skillets and add your sliced onion. Salt and pepper your onions to your liking. Use a wood spoon to stir the onions around to make sure they don’t burn and help them caramelize.

While the onions get to caramelizing, add steak directly to your hot pan. Cook your steak on both sides for about 3-4 minutes. After your steak is cooked, put on a plate to rest for a few minutes. Once rested you can slice the steak into thin strips. Add a bit more bacon fat to that same pan, if needed. Now crack both of your eggs into the pan (this is where you can cook your eggs however you’d like). When eggs are cooked to preference, pull off heat and top on your steak. Once onions are caramelized, after about 10 minutes,add the green onions, and top on steak and eggs.

**The steak marinade can be used for any kind of steak and works great on the BBQ!
