This recipe is not only a fantastic way to reduce food waste but also a testament to the versatility of steak. Let's dive in!

Ingredients

• Leftover steak (about 1 lb or 450g)
• 4-6 large eggs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• Optional: sliced avocado, hot sauce, or cheese for serving

Preparation

Before you start, ensure your leftover steak is at room temperature for easier slicing. If it's been refrigerated, you can quickly warm it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Then, slice the steak thinly against the grain to make it tender and easier to chew.

Cooking the Steak

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is heated through and lightly browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

Sautéing the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper (if using), and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Cooking the Eggs

Create small wells in the vegetable mixture for each egg. Crack the eggs into the wells, season with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on your preferred egg consistency. For runny yolks, cover the skillet and let the eggs cook undisturbed. For firmer yolks, spoon the hot vegetables and juices over the eggs as they cook.

Assembly and Serving

Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, top each egg with a generous spoonful of the sliced steak. Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce (or tamari) over the steak and eggs. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately, with sliced avocado, hot sauce, or cheese on the side if desired.
