I'm making breakfast for my mom tomorrow and was wondering what kind of steak I'd use for "Steak & Eggs". Is there a specific kind of breakfast steak? I'm assuming its not a rib eye or t-bone ... lol.
Thanks for the help. | |

Never ate/eat breakfast but when it was fishing time, my dad or uncle would make me steak 'n eggs before we left and always used rib eye. | |

Really- it's breakfast. You want quick, tender, and tasty. Get an Eye of Round roast (sometimes called a tip roast). From the larger end, slice off a few 3/4" thick steaks. Partly freeze before cutting, it makes it easier to butcher. Use your tenderizer (or a pointy knife) and poke a bunch of holes in the steaks then put the steaks you've cut off into a container and marinade overnight in a mix of 1/4 olive oil, 1/2 balsamic vinegar, 1/8 lemon juice, 1/8 Soy sauce. About 1 hour before cooking, remove from the fridge, bring up to room temp, wrap a slice of bacon around the steak. I sear in a red-hot skillet first, then turn to LOW to finish cooking. Maybe 5 minutes on one side, and 3 on the other for med rare. Deglaze the pan with some of the leftover marinade, add a few mushrooms and butter and reduce for a very tasty sauce for over the meat.
Your mom has a nice kid.  | |

I chose rib eye.
But Charon .. that sounds so yummy, I'm definately going to have to try that too.
Again thanks for the help.
Hope you all have great breakfasts!! | |
