Ingredients

- Eggs, 2 large: Fresh eggs fried crispy on the edges for a contrast in texture and richness.
- Avocado, 1 ripe: Creamy sliced avocado adds healthy fats and smoothness that balances the savory steak.
- Arugula, 1 cup: Peppery leafy greens provide freshness and a slight crunch to the bowl.
- Olive oil, 1 tbsp: Used to season steak and fry eggs, adding subtle fruity richness.
- Chili flakes, 1/2 tsp: Sprinkled on eggs for a moderate, smoky heat that elevates the flavors.
- Salt & pepper: Essential seasonings to enhance the natural flavors of all ingredients.
- Dried herbs, 1/2 tsp (optional): Adds aromatic depth, such as oregano or thyme, for extra complexity.
Instructions
- Season the steak
Start by rubbing your steak with salt, pepper, and olive oil. This step ensures the meat is flavorful and helps create a caramelized crust when cooked. Proper seasoning is crucial to bring out the steak’s natural richness and make it more tender.
- Cook the steak
Grill or pan-sear the steak for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side over medium-high heat. This quick cooking locks in juices while developing a savory crust. Achieving perfect doneness quickly is key to a juicy, tender steak without overcooking.
- Fry the eggs
In a hot pan, fry the eggs until the edges become golden and crispy while keeping the yolks runny if desired. Crisp edges add texture contrast to the bowl. Sprinkle chili flakes on top to introduce a smoky, spicy kick that complements the richness of the other components.
- Prep the avocado
Slice the ripe avocado evenly to layer creamy, buttery pieces into the bowl. The avocado adds healthy fats and a cool, smooth texture that balances the warm steak and eggs, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
- Assemble the bowl
Begin by laying a bed of fresh arugula, then artfully arrange the sliced steak, avocado, and fried eggs on top. This layering showcases vibrant colors and varied textures, making it appealing visually and delicious on every bite.
- Adjust chili flakes to control the spiciness according to your preference.
- Choose a tender cut like ribeye or sirloin for best steak results.
- Use fresh eggs for optimal frying texture and taste.
Storage Tips
Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat steak and eggs gently in a pan to retain texture, and slice avocado fresh when ready to serve to prevent browning.
Serving Suggestions
This bowl pairs perfectly with a side of roasted vegetables or a light soup for a complete meal. Drizzle with extra olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon for added brightness if desired.
- Let steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking to keep juices locked in.
- Use a non-stick pan for frying eggs to achieve crispy edges easily.
- For extra flavor, marinate steak briefly with garlic and herbs before cooking.
FAQs
- Can I use a different cut of steak?
