  • Avocado (sliced)
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

DIRECTIONS

HOW TO SERVE Juicy Garlic Butter Steak with Fried Eggs & Creamy Avocado

This dish can be plated beautifully with the sliced steak arranged neatly beside the eggs and avocado. The vibrant colors of the avocado and runny egg yolk really make a stunning presentation. It pairs wonderfully with a side of toasted bread or a mixed green salad. You might also want to serve it with a drizzle of balsamic reduction or a sprinkle of chili flakes for added flavor.

HOW TO STORE Juicy Garlic Butter Steak with Fried Eggs & Creamy Avocado

If you have leftovers (though they are rare!), allow the steak and eggs to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Keep the avocado slices separate to prevent browning. The steak and eggs can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to retain their texture and flavor.

TIPS FOR THE BEST RESULTS

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the perfect doneness: 130°F for medium-rare and 145°F for medium.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing; this helps retain the juices within the meat.
  • Try to choose avocados that are ripe but firm, ensuring they slice perfectly without turning mushy.
  • Experiment with herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives as a garnish to enhance flavors and presentation.
  • For extra indulgence, consider adding a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese on top of the avocado.

VARIATIONS

Feel free to customize the recipe based on your preferences! For a spicy kick, add some chili flakes to the garlic butter while cooking the steak. If you’re not a fan of fried eggs, scrambled eggs or poached eggs can also work beautifully. Alternatively, a side of sautéed spinach or other seasonal vegetables can add a delightful freshness to the dish.
