So quick, easy, and fancy pants without any of the hard work! Served with the most amazing herb sauce. SO SO GOOD.
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. And whether you need a super easy (yet incredibly fancy) dish to whip up for that special someone or you just need breakfast for dinner, THIS. IS. IT.
I mean, the title says it all. BEST EVER. Yes, this is truly the best ever steak and eggs.
I used a skirt steak here since it is quite thin and very forgiving.
It doesn’t require too much of a cook time and you won’t really need a meat thermometer either.
And while that steak is resting, go ahead and fry your eggs in that same cast iron skillet. If fried eggs are not your jam, these scrambled eggs are also perfect here. Just be sure to drizzle that fresh herb sauce everywhere.
Serve with coffee. Serve with toast. Serve with wine. Serve with all of the above.

Those pictures are of a flank steak not a skirt steak
Skirt steak was used in this recipe, not flank steak.
Oops, forgot to add — this recipe makes such a delicious AND healthy dish! I used 100% grass-fed Angus beef sirloin steak, pasture-raised eggs and organic ingredients for everything else (herbs, shallot, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil & red wine vinegar). My family loved it! 🙂
Excellent! My husband LOVED it. And so did my young adult kids. The herb sauce added a refreshing twist to steak & eggs! Thank you for this recipe. 🙂
Can you substitute flank steak?
Recipe does not favor cooking for one!
Then I guess it’s a recipe for a group.
This looks so amazing and simple at the same time… nice
This looks awesome! There is not a thing here that doesn’t ‘hit a Jones’.
I am new to your place and I was wondering where I would find the nutrition info.
As a stroke survivor and heart attack survivor I need to be mindful of some of the “numbers” in foods.
“hit the Jones”?
