Charred Beef & Egg Breakfast Skillet

Ingredients

Steps

1. Step 1

   Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sliced beef strips in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until deeply charred on one side, then flip and char the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.

   • 2 tbspolive oil
   • ½ tspkosher salt
   • ¼ tspfreshly ground black pepper

2. Step 2

   Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet and reduce heat to medium. Add the thinly sliced onions and toss to coat in oil and beef drippings. Sprinkle smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper over the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and caramelized with a smoky aroma, about 8-10 minutes.

   • 1 tbspolive oil
   • 1 ½ tspsmoked paprika
   • ½ tspkosher salt
   • ¼ tspfreshly ground black pepper

3. Step 3

   Return the charred beef strips to the skillet with the smoky paprika onions, stirring gently to combine and warm through for 1-2 minutes. Make four small wells in the beef and onion mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the egg whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 5-7 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook an additional 2 minutes.

   • 4 largelarge eggs

4. Step 4

   Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a bright, fresh garnish. Serve the skillet hot, scooping portions that include beef, onions, and an egg for a hearty and flavorful breakfast.

   • 2 tbspfresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
   • 4 largelarge eggs
