How to prepare New York Strip Breakfast
Ingredients:
- 🥩 New York strip steak
- 🥔 Potatoes
- 🍳 Eggs
- 🧀 Cheese
- 🧂 Salt
- 🧂 Pepper
- 🧈 Butter or oil
Instructions:
-
Cook the Potatoes: Start by dicing the potatoes into small cubes. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter or oil. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they are golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally. 🥔🔥
-
Cook the Steak: While the potatoes are cooking, season the New York strip steak with salt and pepper on both sides. In a separate skillet, heat a little butter or oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. 🥩🔥
-
Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet used for the steak, crack your eggs and fry them to your liking—sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper. 🍳
-
Assemble the Breakfast: On a plate, arrange the crispy potatoes, sliced steak, and fried eggs. Top with cheese, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the other ingredients. 🧀🍽️

Tips for preparing New York Strip Breakfast
- For the best flavor, let the steak come to room temperature before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the steak: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Feel free to add vegetables to your potatoes, such as bell peppers or onions, for added flavor and nutrition.
Variations
- For a healthier twist, you can substitute the steak with a leaner protein like chicken breast or turkey sausage.
