Breakfast flank steak and eggs with guacamole

Breakfast Flank Steak and Eggs with Guacamole – for those of us who like meat for breakfast sometimes!

I always had a special relationship with breakfast, especially on weekends. Weekend mornings are meant for special food-related treats, such as apple pancakes, French toast, or a flank steak and eggs over guacamole, as the case is with our today’s recipe. Put that flank steak, eggs and guacamole on top of fried tortilla, top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese – and what you have is an amazing breakfast/brunch that is surprisingly easy to make.

Easy to make is a key thing for me on weekends. I am not the one who likes to slave over food preparation on Saturday mornings in the kitchen, no, I’d rather read a magazine or surf internet (for recipes, of course). I want something easy but also something unique and different than regular bacon and eggs and something that I could serve not only to my husband (who will eat anything) but also to a group friends should they spend a weekend with us. This breakfast flank steak and eggs recipe is a perfect dish for that.

I love flank steak. Not only is it an affordable cut of a high quality meat, it is also very easy to cook on stove top, and the resulting steak looks like it just came off the grill, while all you did is use a skillet indoors. Flank steak is a thin cut, so it’s easy to get this nice searing effect on both sides while attaining the perfect medium-rare in the center – all on the stove top.

How to cook flank steak:

1. Mince garlic with knife, set aside. Combine spices together in a small bowl.

2. Pat steak dry, then rub spices all over. Sprinkle minced garlic on both sides of the steak.

3. Heat large skillet on high heat. Once the skillet gets hot, add olive oil until it sizzles. Then add flank steak to the skillet and sear on high heat 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, making sure you have garlic searing underneath steak or around steak.

4. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest 10 minutes. Cut steak across the grain into relatively thin slices. Set aside.

Assemble breakfast flank steak and eggs:

1. Grease a large skillet (with Pam) and heat it on medium heat until hot. Crack each egg and pour onto the hot skillet. Depending on the size of the skillet you may fry from 2 to 4 eggs at the same time. Do not overcrowd the skillet. Cook until the whites of the eggs solidify and the yolks remain medium-rare. Using a wide flat spatula, transfer eggs onto the plate.

2. In a large skillet fry tortillas in 1 tablespoon olive oil on both sides, until each tortilla puffs up. Place 4 tortilla on 4 serving plates.

3. Divide guacamole into 4 equal parts and put on top of each tortilla.

4. Top guacamole with slices of flank steak. Then top steak slices on each plate with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar and 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella. Finally, top each portion with 2 eggs cooked over easy. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of eggs for taste and presentation.
