Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 10 oz Angus steak and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the steak for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Remove steak and keep warm.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 4 oz crumbled sausage and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 tbsp unsalted butter to the sausage fat, then sprinkle 2 tbsp all-purpose flour over it, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Gradually whisk in 1 cup whole milk, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  5. Step 5: In a separate nonstick pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat and cook 2 large eggs any style preferred (fried, scrambled, or poached).
  6. Step 6: Plate the steak, pour the sausage gravy generously on top, and place the cooked eggs beside it. Serve immediately.
