How to make Texas-Style Steak and Eggs :

1

Marinate the Steak:In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced steak and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.

2

Cook the Steak:Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

3

Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.

4

In the same skillet used for the steak, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until the eggs are just set but still creamy.

5

Serve:Slice the cooked steak and serve alongside the scrambled eggs. Garnish with cilantro or green onions and serve with salsa or hot sauce if desired. You can also serve with warm tortillas or toast.

Recipe Notes:

Marination time: Let the steak marinate at least 30 minutes—or up to 2 hours—for deeper Tex-Mex flavor.

Steak doneness: For medium-rare, cook until internal temperature hits around 130-135°F; let it rest to retain juices.

Egg preferences: Cook eggs sunny-side-up for richness, or over-easy/over-medium if you prefer firmer yolks.

Side dishes: Pair with crispy hash browns, grilled peppers, or warm tortillas for a full plate.

Spice adjustment: Reduce chili powder or omit jalapeños if you prefer mild heat, or boost for more kick.

Serving tips: Slice steak against the grain and top with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or hot sauce for freshness and brightness.
