Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Steak
A lean cut such as sirloin or flank steak works well for a healthy plate. It provides high-quality protein and cooks quickly when properly seasoned.

Eggs
Eggs add complete protein and richness. They can be cooked to your preference, whether fried, soft-boiled, or scrambled.

Avocado
Avocado supplies healthy fats and a creamy texture that balances the savory steak and eggs.

Olive Oil
Olive oil is used for cooking and adds heart-healthy fats with a mild flavor.

Salt
Salt enhances the natural flavors of all components without overpowering them.

Black Pepper
Black pepper adds gentle warmth and depth.

Garlic Powder
Garlic powder provides subtle seasoning without added heaviness.

Lemon Juice
Lemon juice brightens the avocado and adds freshness to the plate.

Fresh Herbs
Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives add color and light herbal notes.

Directions

Begin by bringing the steak to room temperature and seasoning it evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of olive oil. Cook the steak to your desired doneness, allowing it to rest before slicing to keep it juicy.

While the steak rests, prepare the eggs in a separate pan using your preferred method. Fried or soft-cooked eggs work especially well for this plate, as the yolk adds natural richness.

Slice the avocado and lightly season it with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Arrange the sliced steak, eggs, and avocado on a plate. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
