Benefits of Using Leftover Steak

- Nutritional boost: Steak is high in protein, iron, and other essential nutrients, making your breakfast more nutritious.
Ingredients You'll Need
Here's what you'll need to create this delightful dish:

- Leftover steak (about 1 cup, diced)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a perfect steak and scrambled eggs combination:
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Dice your leftover steak into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion and dice the bell pepper (if using). Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Step 2: Cook the Steak
Heat 1 tbsp of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced steak and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter. Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper (if using). Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender.
Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Let them cook undisturbed for a minute, then start scrambling, pushing the eggs from one side of the skillet to the other. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in places.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
Add the cooked steak back into the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
