Fancy Steak and Eggs

Tried another recipe from paleomg.com the other night and it was delicious.  Who knew eating healthy could be so fun!

Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 1
 
Ingredients
  • 1 elk round steak (or steak of your choice)
  • 1-2 pieces of bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ yellow onion, sliced thin
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • avocado, to top
  • fat of choice – I used bacon fat
Instructions
  1. Heat up 2 small skillets over medium heat.
  2. Add a tablespoon of bacon fat (I used coconut oil) to one of your skillets and add your sliced onion. Salt and pepper your onions to your liking. Use a wood spoon to stir the onions around to make sure they don’t burn and help them caramelize.
  3. While the onions get to caramelizing, first salt and pepper your steak and add a bit of basil to both sides. Then wrap your piece(s) of bacon around your steak and add it directly to your hot pan.
  4. Cook your steak on both sides for about 3-4 minutes. Elk steak doesn’t need to cook very long because it doesn’t have a ton of fat, but cook your steak accordingly and how you like your steak cooked.
  5. After your steak is cooked, put on a plate to rest and add a bit more bacon fat to that same pan, if needed.
  6. Now crack both of your eggs into the pan (this is where you can cook your eggs however you’d like).
  7. I made my eggs over easy so I let cook for about a min, salt and peppered my eggs, then put about a teaspoon of water into the pan and covered with a lid to steam the top of the eggs.
  8. After about 1 more minute or when eggs are cooked to preference, pull off heat and top on your steak.
  9. Once onions are caramelized, after about 10 minutes, top on steak and eggs. Then slice up some avocado to make it pretty and delicious.
 

If you are making a side with this, 1 steak can feed two people.  I cut the steak in half and served it with one egg each and then had a side of vegetables with it.  If you're not having anything else you probably want the whole steak yourself.  Enjoy!
